At least grub.lst, as we had a kernel update yesterday.... I am accessing my mail via SquirrelMail vai a borrowed Ubuntu USB boot drive (I will have to build and carry a FC12 USB boot now) so email is difficult compared to my Thunderbird setup.... Last night during a yum update that included a new kernel, my system did a poweroff. I am suspecting a CPU temp shutdown. I am upset that such an event does not put me in suspend mode but that is a separate message. Anyway when I powered up I was at the grub> prompt, and I don't know what to do from there. This morning a colleague (I am at the IEEE 802.11/15 meeting in LA) lent me his Ubuntu boot USB drive so I could at least get on the session web site and such. I was also able to see my /boot partition and observed that /boot/grub/grub.lst is ZERO bytes. This seems really bad, as it would have my partition mount information to get to the / and /home partitions in the LVM partition. Can I find this information still? Is there a way to find the file so I can manually issue the commands from the grub> prompt to bring the system up and do a yum-continue (or whatever that command is)? I THINK I have a FC12 live CD at home, as I will get back tomorrow (it may be a FC11 live CD, so I might have to download and burn it). From a Live CD boot, is there a way to mount the partitions and continue the yum install? Minimally I can boot from a live CD, mount my /home partition, back it up to my USB hard drive and then do a new install. OUCH!!! Please note that if you have some REAL guidance for me, send it to my rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx email. This email, rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx gets about 50 messages/hour and from SquirrelMail it will be hard to find your response. The labs subdomain gets ~10 messages/hour and I will catch your response. Thank you. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
