https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 ------- Comment #23 from kern@sibbald.com 2006-10-05 09:49 MST ------- Well, things didn't go so well. Installing the kernel got a lot of errors (mostly requires problems), so I ran it with --nodeps then after installing noticed that /boot/grub was gone. After rebooting, things went from bad to worse -- the only filesystem is /, so it couldn't bring up much of anything. As far as I can tell, the other partitions no longer have valid filesystems. I suspect this was due to my SCSI testing rather than the new kernel. Anyway, I'll reload the system (groan) and try again over the weekend. If you just happen to have the kernel-src.rpm ("binary" rpm with all patches applied and loads in standard kernel build location), I'll try building it here and manually installing it. If not, no problem. PS: I see that part of the installation of the rpm involves using perl. This kind of requirement makes it more difficult to implement disaster recovery CDs to re-install a kernel. Whenever possible, it would be better for the base rpms to rely only on traditional Unix utilities (sed, awk, ...). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
