That is a good idea. I would include the reading of a rescue file (this is, a file with the status of the system in some time, generally, before the problem). This is, the idea is a return to the previous status before the problem.I've spent most of today working on rescue-mode. Instead of just giving you a shell on the root filesystem you select, it now pops up a menu, which includes a shell option but also allows other udebs to provide rescue hooks. IMO the UI now makes a lot more sense, although the root filesystem question could still do with much improvement.
The main use I have in mind for the rescue menu is push-button bootloader reinstallation;
I've added a rescue script to yaboot-installer
Good idea. The user would save a configuration file for the bootloader from time to time.that does this based on an existing configuration file, although not yet one that reruns os-prober and generates a new configuration.
If people want to do this for other boot loader installers too, that would be welcome. I've also heard a suggestion for a tripwire-style check for servers that could be done within this framework, given a checksum file on trusted media. Cheers,
Good work. Regards.
