Hi, I've lost my Vyatta router (Soekris4801, VC2.1 with community/testing updates) after upgradiing to VC 2.2. The Soekis was configured for communitiy/testing and all recent updating went fine. Now 'testing' was recently promoted to 'main' I decided to go back to 'main' and get in step with the VC2.2 release.
Procedure: I've changed the repositry from 'testing' back to 'main' (via web interface) and logged in as root to do the apt-get etc. (followed the latest corrections from the list). After a while I got the question to delete a list of 'old' packages. I answered 'yes' and found out that I ended up with a clean /boot. That was certainly not what I wanted to achieve... Has it to do with the fact that I had been running on 'testing' for a while and changed back to 'main'? Should I answer 'No' when promped to delete 'old' packages in my case? Trying to recover from this, I downloaded the VC2.2 CD, booted my laptop with it and connected the 12 Gb drive from the Soekris via a USB to IDE adapter to my laptop. I was able to do a system-install to the drive. Via USB the drive is recognized as sda. I realized that I would have to do a manual edit to /boot/grub/menu.lst to change references to 'sd' into 'hd', which I did. I placed the drive back in the Soekris. Unfortunately it still does not boot into the kernel. It does load grub (I get a 'grub>' prompt) but there it stops. Is there more to do to change from 'sd' to 'hd' than just edit menu.lst???? Thanks for any advise! Egbert Jan _______________________________________________ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
