[cobalt-developers] replacing libraries from recovery disc



This list has been an excellent resource for me in the past - especially the archives. It seems like everyone has gone through the same issues and problems I have encountered.

I have a raq4r and i made a a mistake and overwrote the libc-2.1.3.so libraries. I have pulled the drive and mounted it in a redhat system. I have also mounted the disaster recovery disk. I have copied the library from the disaster recovery cd back into the /lib dir on the cobalt drive.

I have then remounted the drive in the cobalt, and it loops - loading kernel .... booting ... loading kernel, etc.

I have check permissions on the libraries, and they seem to be ok:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       691988 Apr 27 14:42 libc-2.1.3.so


and the sym link for libc.so.6

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 28 2001 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.1.3.
so


Anyone have any ideas on how to proceed (other than a clean install)?
