Hello,
one of my servers broke.
I have a rsync backup of the hole disk. I can't anymore build a new version of this same distro, obsolete (12.1). However I would prefer to start from the initial disk, because the setup was a bit special and not documented enough.
I can connect a new hard drive and rsync back to it, but I wonder how I can regain grub boot?
is it possible to install grub from an other running distro (certainly not the same version) or may I have to boot a rescue disk and chroot into the reconstructed disk?
- believe : ............. Start the Live openSuSE or rescue system. Find the disk root partition, then, assuming its hdxy (or probably sdxy): mount /dev/hdxy /mnt mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt ........................................ finally: start YAST to install boot-loader ............... regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
