Mondo Rescue, missingdev,proc,sys 2583
will
After spending all my weekend playing with parbreastions, commands, bootloaders and DDS4 tapes I've come to this conclusion:
mount: could not find filesystem '-dev-root' setuproot: movingdev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mountingproc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mountingsys: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
What I did so far:
1) Installed a fresh guinea pig copy of Fedora Core 5 with the following parbreastion table
sda1, 100 MB,boot sda2, 25.000 MB, (root) sda3, 500 MB, swap
No LVM!
1) booted with Fedora rescue disk
Again, I admit this is not especially neat, and people can make theoretical arguments as to whether it...
2) mounted sda2 in the directory foo
3) moved to foo
4) tar -cvpf dev-st0 home etc var boot proc usr *.* ... everything but dev. (with no errors, after countless tries)
5) moved to
6) tried to umount dev-sda2
7) rebooted the system because sda2 was locked by something
8) booted again with CD and then mke2fs -j dev-sda2
9) mounteddev-sda2 in foo
10) moved to foo
11) tar -vxpfdev-st0
12) grub
13) root (hd0,0)
14) setup (hd0)
Ok, here it is, it's incredibly simple. 1) boot with a live or recovery CD. 2) make a...
15) quit
16) reboot
17) I'm at the beginning again
