SILO woes

So I was running Aurora for about 4 months straight on it's 2.0Beta version and it worked great the entire time. However, I blew my cdrom and harddrive in a power outage. After getting two new devices, I went to reinstall Aurora on my Sun Blade 100. As soon as I booted up it said: Can't read disk label. Can't open disk label package Can't open boot device Since it is a blank disk, I expect this. I tell it to: boot cdrom linux ide=nodma It responds: Can't read disk label. Can't open disk label package Can't open boot device Now I have a problem, so I probe-ide and am glad to see that SILO sees both the CDROM and HD. I do a show-devs and sure enough both the disk and cdrom are on: /ide@d/disk /ide@d/cdrom Figureing that I will be alright, I tell SILO to boot /ide@d/cdrom linux ide=nodma It runs the install just fine, even sees the correct HD to install on when I tell it to automatically set up partitions. The problem comes when I reboot from install. I tell SILO to: boot disk0 linux single It comes back: Can't read disk label. Can't open disk label package Can't open boot device So I try: boot /ide@d/disk linux single It comes back again with: Can't read disk label. Can't open disk label package Can't open boot device I know the disk works and I know it also has a linux partition already on it. Can anyone help me here? Google was most unhelpful. -Kyle "GeekMasterFlash" Gordon _______________________________________________ Aurora-sparc-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.auroralinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aurora-sparc-user Aurora FAQ: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mas01r/aurorafaq.html
