Hi, To see the list of devices that are mounted, you need to type "mount". You will see something like: /dev/sda8 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) /dev/sda7 on /boot type ext2 (rw) /dev/sda9 on /home type ext3 (rw)
In the rescue shell (where you choose shell on the root filesystem), you need to mount /home and /boot in this case, using the commands: mount /dev/sda7 /boot mount /dev/sda9 /home What's really important is to mount /, /usr (sometimes separate) and /boot (often separate). To create the blacklist file, the easiest is (from the same shell): echo blacklist ata_piix > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ata_piix I've the feeling that your dpkg-reconfigure failed for 2.6.20 . As you still have a kernel that can boot on your harddisk, I don't think you really need to boot the rescue CD. You can simply open a terminal, sudo -s (to get root access) and run the dpkg-reconfigure commands.
