Hi all,
I am quite new to GRML (and Debian/Knoppix based distributions).
However, I have some experience with other Linux distris.
So recently I got a virtual appliance with Grml installed already.
One of the first things was to use apt-get (first attempt) and
aptitude (second attempt) to upgrade all upgradable packages.
The results was the same:
I could not boot anymore. The only thing that appears is 'GRUB'
without any further error message.
I have spent two days already to figure out what happens. I have
seen reports about similar errors when updating ubuntu versions.
The reason was a switch from hdX to sdX (and a mismatch of the UUIDs).
I checked all that: UUIDs are fine. And even with the device names the
symptoms are the same.
I then tried to reinstall GRUB. The installation process yielded no
errors (the menu.lst and the device map are fine). Nevertheless
I get the same error :-(
Then I thought: Maybe it's only a GRUB problem and tried LILO. With
lilo I get some more information, but also the boot process stops very
early. I get error messages about some modules that cannot be loaded.
(I currently have no access and, thus, cannot type the exact error message here.)
I am wondering whether this has something to do with the
linux-kernel-header-grml package which apt-get/aptitude were keen to
remove?
I am also wondering: I surely am not the only one who ever upgraded
a GRML 1.0 system, or? Did noone ever encountered a similar problem?
I appreciate every hint which might bring me closer to a solution
of this most annoying problem.
Thanks in advance,
Jan
