kernel compile gone wrong.

[Holmes, Steve]

No, try this:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
directory / points to the root file system brought up when you booted the
machine.  /mnt is a directory that already exists with most boot/root disk
combos.  If not found, you can always make a directory by typing
mkdir /mnt
Plus when you boot with these disks, you could use at lilo prompt time, 
mount root=/dev/hda1 assuming your lilo allows for prompting and has a label
called mount.

That's sure a long way around explaining how to mount a drive but there are
so many ways to do the same thing.

Hi,

I've created a boot disk and a root disk and they work with speech, but I
don't know how to mount my hard drive so I can get access to the files.  I
though it was:

mount / /dev/hda1

but this doesn't work.  Can anybody point me at what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers.

Tim

well for starters, if you have a boot disk for your original kernel, I
suggest you run it and boot your linux that way.
then carefully look over your /etc/lilo.conf and make the appropriate
changes.
then once you're done, type lilo to reread the configuration file and then
reboot.
if all goes well, you'll have yourself a nice shiny new linux kernel to
play with.

Shaun..
