Hi all
I burned my system during an update - pacman removed some important packages and left me with a system that couldn't run /bin/ls, much less something more important. I decided to rebuild the filesystem. I removed the partition on my USB and recreated one, and untar'd the latest onto the new filesystem. Now when I boot, all I get is the 20 second blinking and light off that indicates the boot was probably ok but the network didn't come up or something like that.
I'm trying to get some debug information. The log files aren't updating, so I don't see syslog messages or dmesg or anything else. I've tried putting various commands in the rc.local, including a halt to get the system to come down immediately, but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can find out what's going on?
Thanks!
