Can anyone help?
I have just changed hard disks in my Ultra 30 from a SUN branded 4.3 GByte
drive to a Compaq branded (Western Digital) 9.1GByte drive. On first boot I
get the message "Trap 3e" if I just type "boot" the box will boot normally.
I have forced the boot device(set-env) to disk0:a I still get the problem.
It's not a how-stoper, just anoying.
I have almost bottomed out a SILO / YAST2 issue, it would appear that if you
let Yast2 configure SILO either automatically, it screws up a number of
things that stop it re-booting next time. Among other things it incorrectly
sets the kernel path in silo.conf i.e.it assumes that /boot is part of the
root filesystem not a separate partition. If you dont so this then SILO
stops at the first "S", not surprising as I assume it can't find the kernel.
If you edit silo.conf, correct the paths and run silo the box will start to
boot then gives an error when it tries to mount the root partition (did not
note the error, sorry) so obviously something elso is screwed.
The good news is if you install via yast1, all is well silo.conf is created
correctly and the systems runs like a treat.
TIA if anyone can sort out my trap 3e, keep up the good work SuSE.
