/boot directory empty
 
Hello,

yesterday I was disabling unnecessary services and removing packages in RHEL 5. I used both the command line (/sbin/services,/sbin/chkconfig/) and the add/remove software utility. Some of the services * packages I removed was for NIS, bluetooth(hidd,hcid,etc),avahi,etc. But my messages log file tell a different story. For example, it says system-config-services and selinux-policy was erased. I know I did not manually remove those.

But now my /boot directory is empty except for the grub and lost+found directories and my machine won't boot. This is a pure test machine and so I don't bother w/ backups. Can I recreate /boot or must I re-install?

Thanks in advance,

rh_bomani

If things like /boot got partially erased without you knowing why, then something else may be glitched also. There is no way of knowing, but re-installing very well might be the way to go.

Otherwise, you need to find and install a kernel + maybe an initrd file

If you used the package manager (add/remove SW), then it may have removed some things that you might no have expected--ie if you took away a required file/package, the package manager would remove anything that depended on that. (This would not account for /boot being empty.)

pixellany, that's what I don't understand. What could have possibly have cleaned out boot? Can I repopulate /boot from an install or rescue cd?

Without knowing everything you did, that would be pretty hard to reconstruct.

You can try to find the kernel on your install CD, but I've never done this. Other files (eg initrd) may get created as part of the install process). If it were me, I would simply re-install.

Re-installion looks like my next course of action.:cry: Here is the list of what removed.

I suppose if you boot up the installation CD and go into the rescue mode you should have the kernel in the /boot of the boot up Linux. Compare it with those in Grub.conf if it matches you can copy it over. Same for initrd file. Then the system should boot.

The other alternative is to install the same distro in "another" partition and boot up its kernel but point the "root=" parameter of the "kernel" statement to your current partition. That is the common way of using a kernel from Linux A to boot Linux B.
