Has anyone done an install or upgrade from a hard drive local to the machine? I am trying to upgrade a 9.1 box using it's local harddisk. I have the contents of DVD1 at /data/suse/9.2/install/ (built from a mounted iso image of dvd1). /dev/hda4 is mounted at /data. So when I boot using the 9.2 boot disk, at the boot manager (grub) screen I tell it installation, then I hit F3 to change the installation source. I select "Hard Disk". Then in the next dialog I put: Disk Device: /dev/hda4 Directory: /data/suse/9.2/install For the above I get the following message: Could not find the SuSE Linux installation source. Activating manual setup program. I have tried the following combinations and still get the same result: Device | Directory /dev/hda | /data/suse/9.2/install/ /dev/hda | /suse/9.2/install/ /dev/hda | suse/9.2/install/ hda | /data/suse/9.2/install/ What am I doing wrong. Could not find any info while googling (maybe my search criteria is wrong). Tried searching SuSE sight for installation from hard disk, but didn't find it either. I have also tried installing from an nfs server but it only gets part way and craters with no recovery and it leaves me starting over. :-( Thanks, -- Darrell Cormier Registered Linux user #370711 http://counter.li.org
