Hello,

I removed all other kernels before upgrading to a broken kernel so now can't boot.

How can I install another kernel?

I've tried the command prompt from rescue mode on the dvd but the commands seem limited and I don't really know which to use.

I managed to mount the drive and chroot it but that's about it.

I need to either run urpmi or rpm and get the kernel off a cdr or the install dvd or something. is rescue mode loaded to ram or something so I can temporarily load another disc?

Can you help?

version: 2009.0

Hi,

I wasn't able to bring up X again so hardware reboot and boot failed so installed 2008.1 free iso which is a massive improvement.

Thanks for help

Does it work with the equivalent commands "init 0" and "init 6" or not?

Thanks for the reply.

init 0 works until it gets to 'Unmounting file systems'. The cursor has been blinking there for about 10 minutes

Hi,

I successfully installed all latest cooker 2008.1 packages onto my 2008.0 powerpack system because I was missing some 2008.0 packages etc but now the reboot/shutdown etc commands don't work e.g. 'reboot' from root or user terminal start but there's blank space underneath for over 30 seconds and the terminal session window can be closed

I can't find any solutions.

I didn't create a swap because there's 4GB ram.

I've reinstalled 'bootsystem', 'initscripts' and 'sysvinit' but it's the same.

I renamed and replaced some files with the updated .rpmnew etc files .orig.

Is there a file which has been misconfigured causing this?

Is there anyway to safely reboot/shutdown now?

Would a hardware reset affect the updates?

Thanks

Tom

It's in a pm for you. Please post here if there's any problems. :)
