Hey all:

I installed 11.0 beta3 to last partition of my laptop hard disk. Yesterday dist-upgrade it, After that, i can not boot it anymore.
Boot livecd to mount the partition, i found that initrd-2.6.25.4-8-default was missing, initrd link was broken.

initrd-2.6.25.4-8-default is missing,
vmlinuz-2.6.25.4-8-default is still there.


Can someone send initrd-2.6.25.4-8-default to me (bartonexdu@gmail.com).

Or how to solve this problem is highly appreciated.


Best regards!




Barton

Yes,i have seen that thread, the title is not so clear, and takes me more time to google it.


Code:
1) boot live-cd
2) open terminal
3) type the following:
sudo su -
mkdir /mnt/disk
mkdir /mnt/disk/dev
mount /dev/{device_of_your_harddisk} /mnt/disk # (for most {device_of_your_harddisk} would be /dev/sdaX where X is the partition of your root disk, in my case /dev/sda1)
mount --bind /dev /mnt/disk/dev
chroot /mnt/disk
mount /proc
mount /sys
mkinitrd
it works perfectly for this bug, now i can reply in suse.


Thanks in advance.
