Mine was good, thanks for asking. How on earth were you able to tell the sequence of events, though? That's pretty incredible.

Yesterday, I decided to upgrade the home server from Ubuntu breezy to dapper. Usually those upgrades seem to go well, but I seem to have run into a bug in the code which generates the initramfs which caused it to leave out the code needed to understand lvm, so I can't boot. I'm currently downloading a dapper install disk to (hopefully) use as rescue disk. I've found some indications that I should be able to escape out to a shell early in the install process, mount the LVM volume, chroot, and re-install the kernel package to fix it. So I'm starting the week with crossed fingers, hoping that I don't have to rebuild the system from backups. -- Rick -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
