I found a better way using kexec in the dvd installation system. Boot into rescue system, init 1 (you must go to single user mode otherwise you will boot with the dvd's drivers) mount your root at /mnt then kexec -l --command-line=root=/dev/yourroot --initrd=/mnt/boot/initrd /mnt/boot/vmlinuz then kexec -e You could probably do this from any console in the installation system, for instance after system repair.

Wow extremely nice! This should be a big simple wiki page all by itself with plenty of keywords so it turns up in searches. All related discussion about how to determine "/dev/yourroot" etc should be off in other pages but linked, to keep the recipe above exactly as short and clear as it is. -- Brian K.
