Don't chew the lumps!  We have cats hereabouts. ;D ;D

Too late! ;)

Also, thank you as for coming to the rescue. And to Neal for his support.

Yeap, it was exciting while it lasted. Now, it's back to the familiar INTERFACE I have grown accustomed to.

Nice, O-P... I'll remember that.

Thanks, exploder. I think it's good for me to have this sort of thing every now and then. I get to apply some simple CLI stuff in trying to fix problems. Oh yeah ... O-P together with AS, and others too many to mention is what make our forum invincible. They are the best. Me? I'm just Lukey-Lukey here. ;D  8)

Archie:

What were the messages for the last 5-10 lines before the panic line you quoted. Those are the ones that give us clues.

From the liveCD, logged in as root, in a terminal;

[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /here                   <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sda5 /here                     <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount -o bind /proc /here/proc          <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount -o bind /sys /here/sys           <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# chroot /here          <Enter>

To get online from within the chroot;

[root@localhost /]# service network start           <Enter>

From there you should be able to run apt-get to install the kernel or your choice. You might want to check /boot/grub/menu.lst to see if it got corrupted somehow, and also check the vmlinuz and initrd.img links in /boot, to see what they are linked to;

[root@localhost /]# ls -l /boot |grep vm               <Enter>

[root@localhost /]# ls -l /boot |grep init               <Enter>

Another life saving post...

Thanks Old-Polack I just moved one hdd from a broken laptop to another. Previous machine had a64 kernel which gave me a) timouts on the sda devices coz the other lappy used different hdd modules and b) kernel panic.

Chrooted / installed 38.8 bfs and now the system boots.

Kept the a64 kernel in case I will be able to use the other machine again but afaik - this is a gem. I will do a reprint of it on my site if it's ok with You.

Regards.

Andy

Reprint wherever you please, and whatever you please, whenever you please, from anything I post when helping others. It does no good buried in the archives unseen. The more it sees the light of day, the better the chance it will be of use to someone who needs it. ;) ;D

That was the coolest thing I have done in a bit of time... ;)... Last time when I had this issue I just reinstalled from the latest remaster and was hoping for the best... This time I remembered about reading this post and I was really dang happy when it worked ;).

Thanks again. When I will sort my shell script out I will write the article and post it there.

Regards.

You might want to follow along with this thread, where we are trying to correct a borked previous dist-uprade. Something useful might develop, and there is more detail and explanation of the process.

Welcome to the club, buddy.  ;)

It's way too geeky for your average Joe (not a reference to our Joe ::) ) but you must admit it was a thrilling exercise. I should remember to do this more often NOT!

*** EDIT ***
Just read your blog ... and probably missed it but the first part of the procedure is called chrooting.

First part of the procedure is to mount processes and system files, then You chroot to the installation...
