The name is Mario. New to the discussion list and new to Phoenix. I'm having a problem with installing Mandrake 8.2 on my Laptop. I have a ProStar 5190S. I have Mandrake 7.2 on it and it works perfectly. The error that comes up during installation is: "Kernel Panic:VFS: Can't mount the device 01:03." I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I kinda bypassed that problem by just going into Mandrake and doing a live update, then I run in this error message: "Can't open /var/lib/rpm/Packages." I check in that section of my tree, . . . didn't have a Packages directory. I also tried another way with the rpm's, but those had signature errors. So, please, tell me if it's the CD or is it my system. Cause I have NO clue of what to do now. Thanks. -Mario __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
