Hardy confusion and problems

[Karl Larsen]

    I am confused how a LiveCD of Hardy which I used a manual selection 
to find what I thought was /dev/hda7 which is not where it went. The 
menu.lst has the root at hd(0,6) in grub talk but I find the Hardy at 
/dev/sda5 which is mystery #1. When I boot up in Harty lots does not 
work properly. If I have one Terminal open it will not let me open 
another. I click on System Login Window it tries to come up but fails.

    Now I think /dev/sda5 was where I put the last try for loading Hardy 
on the SATA hard drive. I was trying to load it on /dev/hda7 which ok I 
thought but it didn't work.

    Now I am getting the nVidia full screen freezup on Hardy and I 
seldom get those on 7-10 now since I fixed the fan in the computer.

    So I think something bad happened. The LiveCD must have said one 
thing and done another. To correct this problem I am going to delete 
Harty on /dev/sda5 and try again to load Hardy on my IDE hard drive.

    If I keep what I have I think it will fail in the end.
