ok, it is a sysv-rc bug, read carefully (I got bitten by that yesterday, and took a wrong direction in the beginning, but then fixed my course;-): http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/09/msg00258.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/09/msg00255.html
So supposedly a dpkg-reconfigure of linux-image-* (to fix modules.dep) and module-init-tools would make my system boot again? And because I can't do dpkg-reconfigure without booting (right?), I should try to do a manual equivalent from my Knoppix CD? Is this doable? thanks, Ruben
