Hi,
due to (I am guessing) some kind of hard power off during boot of Ubuntu
Feisty Fawn 7.04 my kernel
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic
was corrupted.
I used fsck in single-user mode to check the /boot filesystem and repair
it - this is when I discovered that initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic and
related files were damaged.
As grub is my boot loader I can just choose an earlier-installed kernel
and boot the system to (eg) kernel 2.6.20-15
But when I tried (using Synaptic Package Manager) to re-install kernel
2.6.20-16 no files were installed.
Should I manually delete the damaged kernel files and try again?
Thanks for any advice,
John
