ecstasy Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited May 21, 2008 by ecstasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Were I you, I'd boot the Mandriva One with the same version as your broken install (2009.0?), and then set up easy-urpmi. You mount your installed partitions, for example under /mnt/broken. Using rpmdrake or urpmq, you look for the kernel packages you want to install, and you install these using: urpmi --root /mnt/broken Yves.
