When installing SuSE 9.3 on a system that has an ALI15x chipset, and then moving the harddisk to another system, that uses a via chipset, it will not boot (can't find the harddisk). The correct driver is present in SuSE 9.3, as I can boot from the SuSE cd/dvd.
How do I make it load the via chipset module/driver, and not just give up because the ali chipset is no longer present.
Thanks in advance Bo
Boot to the rescue DVD/CD mount the drive to /mnt-tmp can be anything, your choice chroot to mount point If you have /boot on a seperate part. mount it vi /etc/sysconfig/kernel Modify INITRD_MODULES="" to include the correct module. run mkinitrd to rebuild /boot/initrd(your kernel) umount /boot if it was booted earlier cntr d to exit chroot The system should now boot using the correct module to access the disk. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
