Re: was-Won't boot

[David J. <jo...@co...>]

Hi,
I have recently successfully installed and booted from a PFS
partition. (Is this supposed to be possible)
The FFS partition I was using seemed to be getting corrupted
regularily causing my system to stop booting. It wasn't obvious the
files had become corrupted but they wouldn't work. When the boot
files were replaced by the
originals off CD things started to work again. With no change to the
miggy side.
I also have a FFS partition as well for copying files to and from
miggy.
I am using the 2.4.4 Kernal (I've tried 2.4.17 but it won't boot)
Anyway woody seems to have installed (from an 8 disk set) ok apart
from the fact that the clock says 1902. How do I to change this,
using a console (X not working yet). When I use dselect to install
software I get error messages saying the date contained in the deb is
in the future. 
The installed packages seem to work but I need to get this date thing
right. (On closing down, the hardware clock seems to be updated from
the system clock so that should solve my problem) My hardware clock
is built into my ppc, no unusual hardware here.
Also on my old Debian 2.2r3 installation I had to initially copy a
system map2.4.4 into /boot and some libs (containing the kernal
modules) into libs. I have done this but on boot up the system can't
find the modules.dep and seems to be looking in libs/modules/2.2.10
instead of libs/modules/2.4.4.
I'm not sure what needs to be done here as just renaming the dir
doesn't seem to work.
I want to get these niggly problems sorted before
moving on to XFree4 and a full software installation.

Regards,

Dave
