Hi: I almost hosed my booting capabilities.
I can boot the rescue kernel 2.2.20-compact from the harddrive. Unable to make a boot floppy that works though, error durring boot from floppy... kernel panic does not know where init is. For some reason, I had to install lilo on the /boot partition and make that partition bootable. I can't seem to get lilo back on the MBR ( to contol the booting process) How do I make a boot floppy and install the appropriate files/dirs from a kernel-image****.deb. (using kernel-sourc-2.4.16 and/or 2.4.18) I want avoid using dpkg -i install kernel-image*****.deb? The reason being is, The only way to boot the system as it stands is from the Harddrive using this rescue image.(getting to that stage last night was long and tedious, I would like to play it safe) Maybe there is a better way too? Not sure, Looking advice from lilo and kernel hacks... Thanks Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
