Re: [expert-it] rescue CD e reboot dopo correzioni

Riassunto:
sono sette giorni che fatico
MDK 8.1 non parte normalmente, uso CD rescue.
Chroot /mnt
Trovo il file bacato che non mi fa partire X, lo modifico e salvo con vi
Parto in rescue con startx e tutto si accende. Modprobe non funziona e mi
rendo conto che rescue ha un kernel e la versione su hd un altro.
Vorrei fare in modo che il file XF86Config-4 che ho corretto con vi si
riversasse su hd per farmi partire da lilo su MBR.
Seguo i consigli del Sig. Alessandro Selli che mi dice di montare su un
/root/ripara la mia /dev/hdb1 dove io ho Linux che non parte.
Fatto, al momento che debbo copiare il file corretto e quello rotto,
messaggio che i due files sono uguali (ed effettivamente sembrano buoni ed
uguali entrambi). Forse non capisco dove è / montata da rescue.
Debbo copiare /root/ripara su qualcosa?
Vi prego aiutatemi perché sono estenuato. Dal punto di vista pratico, ho
ordinato rh7.2, ma in teoria mi vedo ad un passo dalla soluzione con mdk e
sarei contento di farcela.
Strano,.. stai montando in *rw* mode i filesytem sulla '/root/ripara'?
Comunque non c'è bisogno di partire in rescue ogni volta: dai
un'occhiata all '/etc/inittab', il runlevel 3 dovrebbe partire
normalmente senza X, quindi trovati una login shell libera (CTRL+ALT+Fx,
x=1-6), entra da root e dai 'init 3' (o un numero di runlevel tra 1 e
quello che avvia X -1). A questo punto fai tutte le modifiche che vuoi
e poi cambia ancora runlevel ('init 5' o il numero corrispondente
all'avvio di X). Provvisoriamente puoi anche modificare la inittab
impostando il runlevel di default a 3, così X non prova a partire al boot.
Se vuoi bootare senza X, digita 'linux 3' (o 'linux S' - single user
mode) al boot.
Ultima spiaggia: copia 'XF86Config' su floppy ;)
hasta luego!

Not required, but it may be useful in you situation. I f you are going to all the trouble to modify a generic rescue distro, you shoudl add utilities, scripts and backed up config files to the CD.
