Grub isn't so much the issue here as the difference in the rescue mode
boot. I'm used to being able to boot the CD, chroot into the existing
system and have pretty much normal access regardless of what was broken.
Now that the system /dev directory is basically empty, things don't work
when you have to mount the partitions manually. Is there a step to
set up devices so the chroot will work?
Hey Les -
I haven't tried this but were you looking at /dev *after* you did the
chroot? It sort of makes sense to me that the running kernel would only
populate it's /dev, not the chrooted /dev. Rescue mounts at least the
root partition under /mnt/sys (or something like that). Before you
chroot, you should probably also mount any other partitions you want
under /mnt/sys and then chroot.
Cheers,
Dave
