I think I got it fixed. Here is what I did in case someone needs it someday :) - booted F9 Live. Just because I had it around. - opened Dolphin, because it displays the hard drives for the machine - opened a terminal in Dolphin - browse to the root directory of the hard drive - did a pwd in the terminal and found the root of my hard drive was /media/-/ - su - chroot /media/-/ - yum -C list kernel <- did -C because the Fedora repos seem to be messed up again, thus I only used the local cache data - yum -C remove kernel-2.6.31-0.69.rc3.fc12 - this resulted in an error due to some unrelated pooched dependencies. - rpm -e kernel-2.6.31-0.69.rc3.fc12 - this resulted in an error due to some unrelated pooched dependencies - rpm --nodeps -e kernel-2.6.31-0.69.rc3.fc12 - rpm -e kernel-firmware-2.6.31-0.69.rc3.fc12 I will now reboot and see if my system runs. I'll report back in a bit if it does. On 7/16/09, linux guy <linuxguy123@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Will chroot work when the target system has a broken kernel ?
