Partial kernel upgrade
Acouple of weeks ago I installed SLES SP2 and suffered from the SCSI raid problem where the disk identity changed.
I got it sorted by changing the entry /boot/menu.lst to /dev/sda2 instead of the big long disk ID string that was no longer valid. I also changed /etc/fstab to read:
/dev/sda2 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
only I fat-fingered it and said /dev/sda2/ instead of /dev/sda / (no space after sda2). Opps.
I rebooted and it seemingly came up fine. A couple days later I did an on-line update. It tried to upgrade the kernel but failed about half way through. initrd pointed to initrd-2.6.16.60-0.23-smp which didn't exist.
I fixed fstab, and rebooted again but YOU fails; packages slated for patching display a broken dependency error.
menu.lst is pointing to the .21 kernel, rather than the .23, so I changed the initrd link to point to it:
initrd -> initrd-2.6.16.60-0.21-smp
The dir shows the following kernels:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 13 09:21 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.16.60-0.23-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1484672 May 6 06:54 vmlinuz-2.6.16.60-0.21-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1484814 May 15 00:15 vmlinuz-2.6.16.60-0.23-smp
What do I need to do to get it all back to normal? I.e., get the kernel upgrade complete so the libs and such all match.
