maybe the first thing to focus on is the GRUB setup from the previous
installation:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hdc2
initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img
i can't remember how i had the other machine setup. it's been a while.
but as for the new setup, i have the hard drive on the primary bus and
set to master/single. ALL other peripherals are removed to make sure i
can bootup first. once i get that working, i'll start adding drivers
for everything else. so, right now it's just a motherboard, cpu, power
supply, video card, and hard drive. nothing else.
should i change "hdc2" to something else? if so, what?
thanks.
