I successfully installed Debian from a CDROM burned from the image
debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.iso
I then tried to install a 2.6.5 kernel on that system and must
have incorrectly modified /boot/grub/menu.lst because the system
doesn't boot. I did think to make a backup of the original menu.lst
file but then I discovered that if I boot from the Debian installation
CDROM, I can't seem to use the shell one can spawn to mount any file
systems. Is it possible to use that disk as a repair disk? If so,
what am I missing? The drive is already formatted and only needs to
be mounted so I can do the 5-second mv operation that I now have spent
about 6 hours trying to accomplish.
If that disk isn't a good repair disk, is there an image I can
download which understands the ext3 file system?
One other thing that may complicate this request is that I
need to do this via the serial console. The installation CD I burned
from the image indicated above lets one do this all right so what I
need is something like that that will let me directly mount the root
file system. Thanks for any help.
