I tried rescue system, but it just presented me with a console login that only appeared to accept 'root' and no password. After logging in in this way, I'm just left at a command prompt with no idea what I'm supposed to do next.
Hi Peter, To access the 'repair installed system' option, you boot from CD1 and proceed as though you are going to perform a standard installation. This loads the installation kernel which will probe the hardware and ask some questions. At some point in the initialization sequence, it will detect the installed system and prompt you with a choice to 'repair installed system' or 'proceed with installation.' (paraphrased) Choose the repair option. It will examine the installed system and recommend repairs. I'm working from memory and the repair system has changed a bit with later releases, or I'd be more specific. Given your circumstances, I'd accept the full complement of proposed tests. If you can communicate here on SLE during the procedure, you can post any messages you don't understand and ask questions. Hopefully, I or someone else here can help you resolve this. regards, Carl -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
