Only have initramfs now...
Long story short, I had a ps3 with both Lenny and Sid repositories. Knowing this is a bad idea and that Lenny is being deprecated I decided I wanted to move everything to Sid. I changed my repos and ran apt-get-update, upgrade, dist-upgrade. Had one warning during the apt-get upgrade that version of HAL I was about to install would not be supported by the kernel. I figured dist-upgrade would add a new kernel and if not I had made a backup. I proceeded and after rebooting I just have an "initramfs" prompt instead of a kde login screen. There's no apt or dpkg and it seems my backup file may be corrupted as it does not open now...

I would like to get this up and running again, preferably with Sid.

If anyone has ANY advice it would be MUCH appreciated.

initramfs on 2.4 kernel

Is there a patch available to support initramfs on the 2.4 kernel? We can't upgrade to 2.6 for legacy purposes. All I found on google were early references to how initramfs is better than the 2.4 initrd. Thanks much! (0 Replies)

change initramfs by hand?

What's the correct way to change the initramfs file that's used during boot? I know that it's a gzipped cpio archive, but when I gunzip, extract, re-archive (without changing any files), and gzip, then the result is that the system does not boot any more. And I even set the cpio archive type. ... (18 Replies)
