Hi all,
Whilst upgrading a box from edgy to feisty last night I had the power
trip out with about 10% to go. As a result, the system will now boot
to a message stating:
Booting...
Starting Up
(or similar, I'm not in front of the machine at the moment!)
It then just sits there. Is there any way of doing a "chroot
/mnt/root /bin/bash" and then running an apt-get dist-upgrade or
update in order to resolve this? Obviously I'd need to boot from a
live CD, but I'm sure the last time I tried to do this it failed
miserably and I had to blat the HDD and start again.
Answers on a postcard to the usual address...
Cheers,
M.
