| 15:05.58 | rainfyre | Anyone home? |
| 15:11.39 | rainfyre | I installed the 3.2.0 kernel into my ppc squeeze install last night to try out some software that a friend is developing, |
| 15:12.22 | rainfyre | Now I can't boot my computer. I get to where it asks me to enter my password to decrypt my drive |
| 15:12.56 | rainfyre | And I get an error message that this kernel doesn't support encryption |
| 15:13.10 | rainfyre | Am I screwed? |
| 16:25.30 | pahartik | rainfyre: Choose previous kernel at boot loader prompt |
| 16:26.37 | rainfyre | pahartik: at the very first boot prompt? |
| 16:27.28 | *** join/#debianppc camm` (~user@tvwna-ip-d-180.princeton.org) |
| 16:27.52 | camm` | can anyon here help with ppc64 relocations? |
| 16:28.53 | pahartik | rainfyre: That of "grub-ieee1275" or "yaboot" |
| 16:30.13 | rainfyre | Ok, I have yaboot. It looked like aptitude removed the 2.6.32 Linux-image though |
| 16:32.50 | pahartik | rainfyre: If you did not preserve at least one known working kernel image, I suppose you like to start "Debian installer" in rescue mode and start fixing it... |
| 16:34.57 | rainfyre | I don't know how to preserve a working kernel image :) is debian installer my installation disk? |
| 16:35.28 | rainfyre | I did copy my /boot to /root before I started |
| 16:38.03 | rainfyre | For future reference, how do I preserve a working kernel image? |
| 16:42.37 | pahartik | rainfyre: If package is to be automatically removed, use "m" or "=" on it at interactive aptitude |
| 16:44.12 | pahartik | rainfyre: If it is just missing "label" from boot loader configuration, user text editor to add it |
| 17:00.41 | rainfyre | pahartik: do you mean that unless I specified that my working kernel image is to be removed, its still there and I just need to add it to the boot loader config? |
| 17:07.35 | pahartik | rainfyre: I do not know which of two possibilities happened, one can check whether there still is "/boot/vmlinux-2.6.32-5-powerpc" and "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-powerpc" |
| 17:09.41 | rainfyre | pahartik: I don't have my install disk, is this something I can check from the yaboot menu? Thank you for all your help by the way |
| 17:11.22 | rainfyre | pahartik: it boots fine until it asks for my password to decrypt my drive, then it says "failed to read from key storage" |
| 17:16.50 | pahartik | rainfyre: It is also possible to use IEEE-1394 cable and "target-mode" to mount filesystems on another workstation |
| 17:17.56 | rainfyre | Ok thank you |

| 19:08.42 | rainfyre | pahartik: is there a way to reinstall my kernel from rescue mode? |
| 19:19.18 | pahartik | rainfyre: If you mount everything important under "/target/", use "chroot" and turn networking on, "apt-get install" should work |
| 19:19.38 | rainfyre | OK |
| 19:20.51 | rainfyre | What should be mounted under target? |
| 19:21.42 | AlbertP | the root of your target system, and within it things like /home if they use seperate partitions |
| 19:22.19 | rainfyre | Thank you Albert. I'm stuck ;) |
| 19:22.29 | AlbertP | and probably more like procfs etc. |
| 19:22.43 | rainfyre | How do I do it once I'm in the shell? |
| 19:25.05 | AlbertP | I think with mount commands. not fully sure how it works on debian, I don't use the mac that much and my x86 hardware has other distros on it. |
| 19:27.16 | AlbertP | something like mount /dev/sdXY /target (probably you want to add more options) |
| 19:27.23 | rainfyre | OK |
| 19:27.55 | rainfyre | Probably the same for any distro |
| 19:27.57 | AlbertP | replace sdXY with the root partition of the target. oh yes, that can well be /dev/hdXY on a PPC system |
| 19:28.30 | rainfyre | It is ;) |
| 19:29.41 | rainfyre | Won't mount. Invalid argument |
| 19:44.27 | pahartik | rainfyre: Oh yes, if one boots "Debian installer" to rescue mode, dialogs eventually prompt user to choose root filesystem for mounting |
| 19:45.14 | pahartik | rainfyre: I have not used it often, usually just deal with things manually from shell |
| 19:45.17 | rainfyre | Oh OK. So I have to go through the installation a little bit? |
| 19:45.37 | rainfyre | OK, thank you pahartik |
