Hi,
I've messed up my /boot directory and I need to try to get the default files back. Whats in there (can someone post their /boot (I'm using grub...)) and where do the files come from?
I accidently deleted the directory when I was trying to clean up some stuff left over from a slackware install...
Any help would be great!
thanks!
jamis

| In /boot I have my kernels and grub. So copy your kernel again to /boot and reinstall grub and make an entry for your kernel in menu.lst |

I've tried reinstalling grub but since grub is able to boot, there's gotta be something else missing from the directory.
here's my listing of /boot:
| Code: |
livecd boot # ls
grub kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8
livecd boot #
|
shouldn't there be a link back to /boot using some link? like:
boot -> .
how would I make this link?
Thanks for the reply!

Ah ha! I got it!
I think that because the link back to boot was missing i had to change the location of the kernel from:
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root=/dev/hda3
to
kernel /kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root=/dev/hda3
this is the second time I've had to make such a change so if you're having problems with grub not being able to find a file, try this.
I'll change the original post to [SOLVED]
but if I could get some info on making that boot link I'd be pretty happy. Thanks!

You don't really need this link but you can create it with these commands:
| Code: | cd /boot
ln -s . boot
