[opensuse] thoughts on how to repair a destroyed /boot?
Don't ask how it happened, but it did. Now I'm trying to figure out how to fix it without re-installing. Any thoughts? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Destroyed? What does that mean? One short answer: 1-If it's a separate partition that still actually exists, umount it, do mkfs.ext2 on it, remount it 2-download/install your choice of kernel 3-run grub-install 4-confirm /boot/grub/menu.lst is suitably built If the system is currently bootable, boot a CD that will permit you to chroot and perform probably the same steps, depending what destroyed actually means, possibly to include recreating the partition with fdisk or substitute. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
