Boot using the one of the 2.2.1 resc1440 disks from slink and copy over the 2.2.1 kernel. You should be able to boot using that and be ok. If you experience the failure of init, then boot by passing the init=/bin/bash argument to SILO and follow the instructions I posted just a few minutes ago to another person with similar problems. > I was thinking of running the preinst/postinst scripts myself, if libc6 > 2.2.1-3 is OK. In what order do I run libc 2.2.1-2 postrm / 2.2.1-3 > preinst? glibc 2.1+ in potato is going to require a 2.2 kernel so this wont help. To be honest I am not sure how you passed the preinst phase since it should fail to even unpack the glibc 2.1.1. I'll look into why that happened.
