If I boot C5 from DVD in rescue mode, chroot to /mnt/sysimage, and try to do a grub-install /dev/sda it will fail because the /dev folder is empty (in the chroot environment).
Until now I've then created the missing nodes manually, but is there a smarter way of doing this? Some devfs that needs to be mounted on top of /dev?
won't this work? grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sysimage _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Once fully booted into the rescue environment I do the following:
a) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage/ (replace /dev/sda1 with your root partition or logvol) b) mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev c) mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sysimage/sys d) mount -o bind /proc /mnt/sysimage/proc e) chroot /mnt/sysimage
