Ok I put the hypothesis into practice, I logged into my normal environment (I had to edit the menu.lst file to do this, but it seems that many people are down with that) I think these steps will rectify the problem, but I being a little n00bish mucked up the order and ended up breaking my fresh Intrepid system so proceed with extreme caution.
Create a directory: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk Mount the partition with Intrepid (/dev/sda6 replace this): sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/disk Mount the boot partition (if you don't have one then I don't know what to do) sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk/boot chroot into the mount: sudo chroot /mnt/disk /bin/bash Setup the chroot: mount -t proc proc /proc mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys Install the requisite packages: aptitude update aptitude install linux Its too late to reinstall intrepid to test this so I cannot comment further. -- Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
