- I have had the same troubles.
- The solution was: There's no /dev directory on the root-harddisk. I don't
- know why the installation program doesn't install the devices.
- To get them you must boot SLS again from disk and stop the installation
- process with "q" or ctrl-c.
- Then you must mount your root-harddisk with
- mount /dev/hda1 /user
- (insert for /dev/hda1 the device of your root-harddisk)
- or if you had the extended filesystem on your root harddisk mount with
- mount -t ext /dev/hda1 /user
-
- Then enter "mkdir /user/dev" and "cp -af /dev/* /user/dev"
-
- No type "sync" and reboot with the boot-disk created by SLS.
-
- Because the dev-directory wasn't installed with SLS some of the zfix-files
- aren't installed. I dont know which, but the installation program has claimed
- some "could not chmod blablabla". You should install the fixes by hand after
- you have done a boot from HD.
-
- (This has worked for me, I don't know if this is THE solution :-)
