Hello, I somehow lost /boot on an amd64 (turion) laptop. I have an old copy of grub.conf, but no backup of the entire /boot dir. Since I do not have another amd64 system, can I just copy over most of the (non arch dependant files) and recreate the arch dependant files? The system is still booted up, so I need to make repairs before rebooting again.
I've built a new kernel and copied it over to /boot. I've copied over the /boot/grub/grub.conf file from an archive. Once I copy of the non-arch_dependant files (not sure which ones those are) do I need to run grub again? Besides the kernel, are there any arch unique files I need to recreate or copy from somewhere off the net? Any ideas or guidance as to how to recover, without reinstallation are most appreciated.
