You have a packet sniffer running on your FTP connection? You NUTTER!Quote:>I have snort running on it.
Did you not create a boot disk? Google around for a boot disk for your
present dist and kernel.
Have a look in /usr/src/linux/arch/YOURARCH/boot. If you have a
vmlinuz file this will be your new kernel. cp across to boot. Did you
run a make install after kernel recompile if so that would create a
system.map. You will also need an initrd image mkinitrd
/boot/initrdYOURNEWKERNEL.img YOURNEWKERNEL.
Edit your grub.conf add new kernel image and you should be able to
boot again.
Really sounds like next time it may be a better move to download the
ISO images and burn them to CD. Sounds like you may have a few
re-installations ahead of you. Best of luck friend! And keep it up, we
all learn from asking!
