Listmates,
I recovered my 10.3 system with the 11.2 install dvd. I booted the installed system from the 11.2 disk and then re-installed grub. Now I get the following modprobe error whenever I try to copy files from sdb -> sda:
Jan 3 02:06:53 nirvana modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-default/modules.dep: No such file or directory
Sounds like the 11.2 recovery gave you an 11.2 kernel in /boot, with an 11.2 initrd, but didn't give you the 11.2 kernel rpm with the modules.
I suspect your 10.3 kernel is still under /boot though, and it may even be available as a boot option already in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but if it isn't, edit that file and make it point to the correct kernel file.
If the kernel isn't available under /boot, you may have to reinstall the rpm, which should take care of menu.lst automatically

Anders, You nailed this one -- again!

So it looks like I only need to remake initrd-2.6.22.19-0.4-default. Do you concurr? Also, strangely, everything is running find on 2.6.31 made for 11.2 on my 10.3 system. How is that possible? Next, How did I get a 2.6.31 kernel by reinstalling grub when the 11.2 dvd was simply used to boot the existing 10.3 system? Something smells fishy here... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
