I required some more kernel features -recompiled 2.4 ok. Did not want to run lilo and loose my existing setup. Upon reboot struggled back in with the rescue disk. I had some problems getting yast to write the new floppy config. Yast wrote to /boot ok, but am not sure how to use this.

Device hdh1 is not mounted. Swap does not seem to activate and hdh1 will not mount. From 2.2.18 I can mount hdh1 and see the files ok. Any thoughts, suggestions, helpful advice appreciated Brian Marr
Re my earlier posting. Is there any problem with having your 7.1 (2.4kernel) set up with /boot ext2 /swap swap / reiserfs In my case /boot and /swap did not seem to be recognized by the kernel. Brian Marr On Mon, 09 Apr 2001, Brian Marr wrote:
