Hi all, I am new to linux and newer to debian. I did a very stupid thing today. I needed to run the crystallography software ccp4, when i tried doing it, it said the 'libc.so.6' does not exist. So i transferred the file from a fedora core 3 machine to the debian machine. ccp4 did run for a while. But then the machine hanged suddenly. When everything else failed, i force rebooted it...and it stopped with the message:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% chroot: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.s0.6: file too short Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I have some data on the hard disks which is not backed up so is there an easy way out other than reinstalling debian? this is what i have done so far: I got the source dvd, put it in the slot, rebooted...in the main installer menu, used the 'execute a shell' option Now i was planning to copy /lib/libc.so.6 on DVD to the /lib directory in root filesystem. So i did: ....................................................................... mkdir /new mount /dev/hda1 /new Mounting /dev/hda1 on /new failed: no such file or directory ....................................................................... Then i tried: ....................................................................... chroot /new chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: no such file or directory ....................................................................... But 'ls' or 'ls /' does list the /new directory. So what is the way out? Thanks and Regards, Arvind -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
