 Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2004 11:49 pm Post subject: /boot files gone? |
 |
|
I was just now playing around with maybe trying to get the lilo graphical matrix thing working.
I did mount /dev/hda2 /boot
and then i edited my lilo config and did
/sbin/lilo
and i got an error saying that bla bla bla kernel....... not found in /boot
so i look in /boot and it's empty.
I know that /dev/hda2 is my /boot partition.
Whats is weird though is that the system still boots up as if nothing is missing.

- IS hda2 your boot partition ?
- did you forget to mount it when installing the kernel ?
If so, the kernel is in the boot directory on the root partition - which you can't see if the boot partition is mounted.
Unmount /boot and look again...

Ok i looked @ /boot with hda2 mounted and with hda2 not mounted.
Both are empty.
the fstab is
| Code: |
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda4 / ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/Camera auto noauto 0 0
|
When i installed the kernel and the new kernel i did
make && make modules_install
then mounted /dev/hda2
and cp 'ed the bzimage, system.map, and confige files over to /boot |

I'd try to e2fsck it first, then try to copy the files over again.
Pretty bizarre (barring any obvious user mistakes...)
