Recovery help needed urgently

[kevinedba]

I'm running Suse 9 service pack 2. I have the recovery cd in the system and have issued the following command

/sbin/mkinitrd -m "reiserfs aacraid mptscsih jbd ext3" -b /tmp/kevin/boot -d /dev/sda2


They system responded with :

Root Device: /dev/sda2 (mounted on / as reiserfs)
Module List: reiserfs aacraid mptscsih jbd ext3

You may have to update your boot loader configuration


QUESTION: How do I update the boot loader from the where I am now?

Note: the reason that I need the bott information is because during maintenance the module reiserfs was left out the kernel file when the a previous mkiniterd command was issued cuasing /dev/sda2 not to mount and the system to go into a kernel panic.

Can we assume you are using GRUB as the bootloader? I'm not sure what you can do with with the recovery cd (I'm just starting back to using Linux after a couple of years in Windows) but if you can mount the sysimage

chroot /mnt/sysimage

I think you should be able to cd into /etc and edit grub.conf. Grub doesn't know where your disks are anymore so you will have to go in and edit the boot configuration.
