I don't think so. The grub line has root=/dev/hda1 (I checked that about
ten times!).
Alternatively, you may have lost /lib/libc.so.6 or /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(/sbin/init uses shared libraries on my system, so I assume the same is
true of yours.) That would account for your being unable to run either
init or bash.
Now. I think you may be onto something.
# ls -l /mnt/lib/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 6 09:29 /mnt/lib/libc.so.6 ->
libc-2..5.so
# ls -l /mnt/lib/libc-2..5.so
no file found (grepping libc-2..5.so and libc-2.5.so produced no results)
# ls -l /mnt/lib/ld-linux.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 6
09:29 /mnt/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.2..so
# ls -l /mnt/lib/ld-2.2..so
no file found
I guess I should download these files and place them in the /lib
directory. How large are they? I've had poor success downloading files
via the windows software in the past-is it feasible to get them by email?
More thanks, Oliver!
