| sigterm | find that kind of odd but, oh well |
| somian[1]_ | File a bug report, sigterm? |
| sigterm | boot off your rescue cd/dvd, mount your / and /boot filesystems, verify the kernel is actually gone and theres not a old/new one lying around somewhere you can use to get a working system again |
| fedorared | If you only had kernel-xen installed, yum remove kernel-xen did what you told it to |
| sigterm | yea pretty much |
| somian[1]_ | # rpm -q --whatprovides linux # rpm -q --whatprovides linux-kernel ??? |
| sigterm | huh? |
| somian[1]_ | Both answer "no package provides XXX" |
| fedorared | Fedora / CentOS style kernel rpms provide kernel |
| somian[1]_ | Anf YUM is b0rken. And. |
| fedorared | How? |
| somian[1]_ | # yum --help |
| sigterm | are you in rescue mode? |
| somian[1]_ | ImportError: No module named yummain Anyone up for helping me restore a kernel + inird and whatever else is needed, from a DVD running in "linux rescue" mode? |
| StevenR | somian[1]_: I would boot your system from the dvd, and at the prompt, see if you can do linux vga=normal noinitrd ro root=/dev/your_root_partition_here and see if you get a halfway functional system that you can then use yum properly on somian[1]_: caveat: I've done it with slackware, but I couldn't say if the centos dvd will do that... If I was at work, I'd try it for you, but no centos here |
| fedorared | Perhaps chroot into the installed system, then use yum to install a kernel |
| StevenR | fedorared: yeah, that should also work if the rescue has chroot, then probably a better option |
| _Steve_ | anyone have a recommendation on places to compare processor price/performance? |
| donavan | _Steve_: try #centos-social |
| ech0 | anyone know how i'd go about installing par2cmdline...ive been searching for days |
