If so, then you could have just copied the kernel files over after mounting the fat32 partition. How do the files on the CD look when viewing with explorer? How did you create the CD? sad_b0i 07-20-2001, 09:09 AM no 98 is on a different PC...but i am dual booting XP and red hat 7... i use ez cd to burn the kernel... in 98 i see the file fine...reads as linux.2.4.6.tar.gz something like that like its a zip file...but when i try to view it in red hat...i get "?????" as the filename of that same zip file... hmmm... :confused: :confused: :confused: bdg1983 07-20-2001, 10:35 AM What is mount -r ? How about mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom I'm not booted to Linux right now (will be soon for another go at the 2.4.6 kernel), so I would suggest you check the man pages for mount. You created the cd with CDcreator using the standard format? No internet access from Redhat? I guess that's why you need to burn the kernel source to cd. As a last resort, you could try to ftp the files across if the 2 pc's are networked. sad_b0i 07-20-2001, 11:04 AM "How about mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom" will i have to unmount what i have mounted already.... -r means read-only... Yvraine 07-20-2001, 11:35 AM It's a CD! Do you need to specify -r? I never do, and it works fine. sad_b0i 07-20-2001, 11:55 AM yvraine eh? im sorry i did not understand anything that you said... mychl 07-20-2001, 11:59 AM might be way off with this one, but could a CD have a filesystem on it, like fat... that could be a problem.... if it is, then maybe try mount -vfat cdrom SHot in the dark :p Cuthbert 07-21-2001, 10:24 PM No.. I'm fairly sure its impossible to have a fat filesytem on a cdrom. Lets make the command a bit simpler: mount -t auto /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom Though -t iso9660 should work just fine. Keyser Soze 07-22-2001, 12:38 AM umount it then remount it, it should show up. Sometimes it will do odd things like that if the configuration is out of whack. sad_b0i 07-23-2001, 09:17 AM hey thanks ill try that out... justlinux.com
