Hi I hope you can help me. My situation is this:
After upgrading some packages (including kernel upgrade, I think) my server does not boot. The IDE activity LED does not blink a lot after I turn the power on, and I cannot hear the disk head moving. So I am figuring that it fails just after GRUB or something. I do not have any monitor or a keyboard, so I cannot see exactly what is happening, but I have taken the primary hard drive out and put it in an USB enclosure, so that I can mount the root filesystem of the server on my laptop. I can then chroot into the filesystem and do stuff. I have tried installing an older kernel image package. But this did not help. Do you have any suggestions on how I can solve this problem and make my server boot again? Thanks. Additional informaiton: My hardware is a VIA mini-itx board with two 250GB ATA drives. The primary master contains one large ext3 filesystem which is the root filesystem. I boot from this. The secondary master contains one large ext3 filesystem that is encrypted using LUKS/cryptsetup. I use this for storage. My /boot/grub/menu.lst is here: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/p/P1050.html When it failed booting it used the kernel version 2.6.18-5-486. -- Med venlig hilsen/Kind regards Thomas Damgaard Nielsen http://thomasdamgaard.dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
