The bootimage works normaly. The only thing I changed was, that I commented out |
| 26 |
the test in the linuxrc program, |
| 27 |
that tries to read a file called version on the cd. This file did not exist in |
| 28 |
the first iso. Now it is in there. So there is |
| 29 |
definately no need to download 640MB again. Why don't you use the bootcd to |
| 30 |
restore your boot partition? e2fsck and reiserfsck are included. |
