FC2 & Via CPU

[Dalibor Malek]

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your Answer but I still have a little problem.

These are the steps
1) Download

http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/kernel-2.6.6-1.383.i586.rpm

2) burn it on to a CD as a file on its own call it KERNEL RPM CD

3) Download http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/c3boot.iso

4) burn this on to a CD as a CD image, call it C3 BOOT CD

5) boot off C3 BOOT CD

6) at the first menu swap in the normal FC2 CD1 and install FC2

7) on install completion, boot again off C3 BOOT CD... but...

8) type linux rescue at the grub prompt

9) when it is finished booting, type chroot /mnt/sysimage

10) swap in the KERNEL RPM CD

11) mkdir mymount

12) mount /dev/hdc mymount -t iso9660

13) cd mymount

14) rpm -Uvf kernel-2.6.6-1.383.i586.rpm

15) type exit (I think) to reboot

Well everything is working and done until I get to step 12.
Step 12 is not functioning, The system says something like mymount is 
already in use or hdc is already mounted. Both is wrong hdc is not 
mounted (I can't unmount it), and mymount is not in use cause I can 
delete it.
/dev/cdrom doesn’t exists.
How can I find and mount my CDROM?
Any suggestion?

Thank You
