okay,
you guys gotta help me again with a problem that's probably blatantly obvious -- but that I can't figure out anyways...
I'm using the rescue cd -- but I can't get qparted to run
From what I know -- you type in "run_qparted" in the "boot:" console... but I keep getting invalid kernel...
help?

If I understand what you've posted correctly, you're trying to run qparted at the wrong prompt. Just press the Enter key at the boot prompt, let the system boot up until you get to the command prompt, and then type the qparted command there.

ooh.
then I have a bigger problem
when I tried pressing "Enter" at the boot prompt...
It will start booting then...
just stop
It will stop in the middle of recognizing the devices...if I recall correctly -- after it recognizes the primary hard drive?
I never get to the command prompt...
hmmm...

OK- the operating system is having a problem with your hardware configuration by the sound of it.

What are your hardware specs, and what version/distro of Linux is your rescue CD based on? Depending on the distro, there may be parameters than you can enter at the boot: prompt to work around the problem(s).

Oh crud:

- I'm not very familiar with Gentoo at all.

- The documentation at sysrescd.org is really light on troubleshooting info; I couldn't find anything helpful there.

- I cannot find a Hardware Compatibility List on Gentoo's site, so I can't verify that your particular components are known to work with the distro.


I'll have to see if I can come up with more info; I'll repost when/if I can find anything useful.

wow
thanks.
However, before you buy a book "gentoo - unleashed" and read the whole thing...
Is there an easier or alternate way of running qparted?
