This is unstable ... indeed it is :)
This seems to be |Bug#343042
|Just to summarize:
i just did an '#aptitude upgrade' and my kernel 2.6.14 got upgraded
(and probably yaird allong the way too). Due to the yaird mentioned
above the created initrd image is bad and Debian won't boot. Because
it was a minor kernel upgrade i don't have a backup kernel...won't do
*that* mistake again :)
Is it possible to recover from this? All i have is a Knoppix CD (the
windoze doesn't count :D) and another machine with stable on it
(kernel 2.6.8). I don't want to repair this the M$ way (format c:)
Boot Knoppix. Mount your installed root partition. Chroot into it.
Mount any additional partitions underneath it.
You're now effectively in your installed system. Install / remove /
configure packages as necessary, rebuild your initrd, etc.
Peace.
Actually i had already tried this, but then i didn't know yaird was the
culprit so it failed. It worked now, after purging yaird and solving
another error (/dev/null: Permission denied)
For archive readers: before chrooting you need to mount you / partition
avoiding Knoppix' fstab
#mount -o rw /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4
What's the right mount command, with '-o exec'?
H
This is explained on Knoppix' site.
thanks for the impulse though, i was just about to give up. i had no
ideea if it is even possible to recover from this (without guru
knowledge :D ), but linux amazed me *again*
