in [Debian]

From: Eddy Parris on 2 Jan 2007 06:10 Hi everyone and happy new year :) Sometime over the weekend I had a power blip that shut ny debian sarge box down. When i booted it this morning i found this lovely message: Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount .... FATAL: Error inserting fan (/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.ko): No such device FATAL: Error inserting thermal (/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/thermal.ko): No such device it then leaves me with a simple busy box shell with only what is in the initrd. Now, this machine was up for probly 3-4 months or so before it went down, I have not updated in a while as i dont ever login and use it that often but it has a few cron scripts and nfs shares that are pretty important and i really need to get them back. I think the problem is that when i did last update it, it updated the kernel and told me to reboot asap... ...which i probly just forgot about so when it has come back up it has not had an updated ram disk with these new drivers and cant boot. silly of me i know but its happened and i really need to get this back up asap. Does anyone have a clue of how i can a) boot off a cd and then maybe chroot and create a new ramdisk (not sure this is the best way but the only thing ive thought would work so far) or b) any other ideas are welcome! If anyone has a clue how to save this i would be very very grateful thanks alot Edd Parris .'' ` .

If it's just the kernel upgrade, it should boot fine after that... Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

From: Eddy Parris on 2 Jan 2007 10:20 Thanks for the replys guys but i managed to sort this. I used a rescue/install cd from here http://people.debian.org/~jgoerzen/dfs/html/ with a most similar kernel, i mounted proc and sys on my mounted drive then chrooted in and created a new initrd image, rebooted and it was fine. thanks again Edd Parris .'' ` .
