unable to boot after kernel update

Hi,

now that my arch box is on the net, I made a kernel upgrade from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4, but now I cannot boot anymore.

Uncompress Linux...

ran out of input data

-- System halted

How can I fix this? Is it possible to do it with the arch linux install disc?

Thanks to you!

Re: unable to boot after kernel update

Hi,

if you have Grub then you must also update your config.  (right?)

Hope you have a Boot CD (or any Live CD) :
- Mount your Filesystem
- edit lilo or grub.conf
- write in the bootmanager (??? run lilo)

hm.. restart and hope

Re: unable to boot after kernel update

I run lilo but i have forgotten to run lilo  :oops:

I have a Knoppix cd here and the arch linux 0.6 install disc. I tried to mount my partitions but I have problems with the xfs filesystem.

Re: unable to boot after kernel update

Using the 0.6 install disk:

# modprobe xfs
# mount -t xfs /dev/discs/discX/partY /mnt
# mount -t xfs /dev/discs/discV/partW /mnt/boot (if you have it)
# mount -t devfs none /mnt/dev
# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
# chroot /mnt /sbin/lilo

something like that should get lilo re-installed.
