I'm pure scsi with 24 9.1G drives so the system i finaly got running was at sdc ....this was debian net install for reference.. I'm trying to do the simplest thing in the world ...change the ipl command line from sdc to sda and palo -U doesnt seem to work.... when i boot ipl says this command line "2/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sdc5 HOME=/ console=ttyB0 TERM=vt102" buy the way this doesnt work what works is (when was sdc0 ) 2/vmlinux root=/dev/sdc rest the same..this is the debian install so not sure what scripts where used but they dont work from install i have to edit every boot. what i need is the command line to say ..."2/vmlinux root=/dev/sda5" etc the palo command line wont do this ....i've tried many combos but the one i was sure would work was palo -U /dev/sda -c "2/vmlinux root=/dev/sda5...etc" my question is how the hell to i get palo to re-write the command line in the boot loader or do i have to make ipl etc... the how-to's out there tell me exactly what to do but they dont work or i'm missing something really simple that other people take for granted. like maybe have to recompile a kernel ..make palo ...make ipl doesnt work either .......i'm still debugging kernel compiles ....one my 5th crash so far ....will be a heck of a bug report when im done. The howto's are not step by step so i'm pretty sure im doing something just DUMB. thx mx ps. your name and email is on the error code so if i got the wrong guy please forward or point me to the correct person to yak at.....i just want to make this work ..i got 23 drives i want to get up and running and web pages to serve:))) pps: this was originally for bame@c3k address not allowed or accepted
