i was in ispconfig deleting data bases and checking in phpmyadmin to make sure they were deleted. the second data base i deleted was bid when i refreshed phpmyadmin all of the data bases were gone i when i singed into putty it said that the system needed to reboot so i rebooted it. no on boot i am getting this error Code: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) i can do nothing from this screen i have no putty access and no websites running. what should i do? i know or think this is a grub problem ant ideas how i can fix this kwick
after doing some reading on this it seems that the problem is in the boot area like it is full. being that i can not access the box by ether putty of directly hooked up to the box can i use the ubuntu 10.4 disk to boot into the system and clean out the boot area? and if so what should i be looking to remove thanks kwick
ok i have found out that if i hold the shift key when i reboot the i could get into the kernal boot i selected the one below the latest and then the box booted up and i have access to the server once again. how can i clean out the older grubs as my boot is 98%full and i think this may be part of the problem kwick
yes i understand that but how can i do one at a time i know that i can run Code: dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge it will remove all but the current kernel but how can i just delete one at a time instead of doing them all? i want to keep one or 2 backups rite now i am running on 2.6.32-37-server but i think that 2.6.32-38-server is the latest when i select that one i am getting the error from above thanks kwick
ok i have found out that if i use Code: dpkg --list | grep linux-image it will list all of my kernels but how can i delete them one at a time this is my list Code: rc linux-image-2.6.31-14-server 2.6.31-14.48 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 rc linux-image-2.6.31-17-server 2.6.31-17.54 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 rc linux-image-2.6.31-19-server 2.6.31-19.56 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 rc linux-image-2.6.31-20-server 2.6.31-20.58 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 rc linux-image-2.6.31-21-server 2.6.31-21.59 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 rc linux-image-2.6.31-22-server 2.6.31-22.73 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 ii linux-image-2.6.31-23-server 2.6.31-23.75 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.31 on x86 ii linux-image-2.6.32-34-server 2.6.32-34.77 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 ii linux-image-2.6.32-35-server 2.6.32-35.78 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 ii linux-image-2.6.32-36-server 2.6.32-36.79 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 ii linux-image-2.6.32-37-server 2.6.32-37.81 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 iF linux-image-2.6.32-38-server 2.6.32-38.83 Linux ker nel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 iU linux-image-server 2.6.32.38.44 Linux ker nel image on Server Equipment. thanks for any help kwick
