hi i don't know why but my laptop just puked hard when i tried to shut it down. it won't boot up anymore, so i was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on how to best create a bootable rescue CD.
what i need on the cd: my custom kernel (With reiserfs support builtin) this is a 2.2.19 kernel reiserfs tools I've been trying to work with the package mkinitrd-cd for the past hour or so, and managed to create a bootable cdrom, with the right kernel, but I guess there is no root filesystem available. the readme doesn't mention a root filesystem so i guess it assumes i have one on the disk? I do have one on the disk but apparently it is curropted. it's a thinkpad T21. if anyone has this laptop, is it possible to remove the disk? i can't find any way to remove the disk, i could get an ide adapter and plug it into a desktop system, but gotta remove the disk to do it. i suppose i could just reinstall as a last resort, i wish i knew why this happened, the system has been running fine, and didn't puke until it was almost near runlevel 0, got a few errors like 'cannot execute binary file' and a reiserfs panic. was running fine until i initiated the shutdown thanks for any ideas nate (going to sleep) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
