I followed Lee's lead and installed the last known kernel that I had |
| 15 |
that worked - genkernel-2.6.21-r4. Now, I can boot, no problem. And I |
| 16 |
made no changes to my grub.conf file or my fstab file. |

One piece of advice that I took from someone who posted in the thread |
| 19 |
(Benno, I think) was that I recreated my partitions and file systems, |
| 20 |
but prior to doing that I ran 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' However, I |
| 21 |
still got the same error message about /dev/sda not being a valid block |
| 22 |
device when I installed genkernel-2.6.22-r5. So that's when I decided |
| 23 |
to follow Lee's lead. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Before all this mess happened, I *did* have 2.6.22-r5 installed, but |
| 26 |
when I installed that, it must have used the config from 2.6.21-r4. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Now, I'm on the road to being up and running again. |
