| peerce | um, if it gets to the grub prompt, its probably past the MBR |
| mshade | well it doesn't get to the grub prompt, perse.. |
| peerce | the MBR has two things in it, the first level boot code, and the primary partition table. that usually means grub can't read the .conf file in /boot/grub/grub.conf where /boot is usually /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 |
| mshade | the partition scheme on this box is a single / partition, /boot included |
| peerce | with soft raid?!? ugh. |
| rsimpkins | well, it is raid1, that makes it easier. |
| mshade | Yeah. so any ideas on how to get it booting again? |
| peerce | use hte rescue disk to repair grub ? |
| rsimpkins | mshade: install grub on it? |
| peerce | first fsck it from said rescue |
| mshade | yeah, it's been fsck'd, comes back clean. grub.conf is readable |
| peerce | md5sum the kernel in /boot and compare it with another copy of the same kernel |
| mshade | is there a way to run the repair from a chroot? i've got it mounted on another box right now. |
| peerce | vmlinuz... |
| mshade | right |
| peerce | you can tell grub where the disk is to repair |
| marc\cba | $IPT -A udp_inbound -p UDP -s 217.65.78.0/26 --destination-port 10000:20000 -j ACCEPT this will allow any udp traffic from 217.65.78.0/26 to any port between 10,000 and 20,000 ? |
| rado_ | peerce, latest word on 5.0 still around the 15th? |
| peerce | um, not sure on that range notatation rado_; i have no idea. |
| mshade | anyone have the vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL image to compare my MD5 to? |
| peerce | mshade; which arch ? |
| mshade | i386 |
| Evolution | why not use rpm's built in md5sum ? rpm -V kernel |
| peerce | oh yeah, hah! |
| mshade | nice :) |
| peerce | i386? not i686 ?? |
| Evolution | that will tell you if the permissions, owner, md5sum etc is off. if it generates output, then something is different. if not, then it's fine. |
| mshade | k, no output. looks good. |
| action | Evolution wanders off to do useful things (like drink) |
| Evolution | wanders off to do useful things (like drink) |
| mshade | thanks for the rpm -V tip, Evolution |
| Evolution | no problem |
