On Slackware I'd simply boot a kernel from the install CD and tell it to mount the installed system on my HD, then you'll have a running system and can easily clean out the broken modules etc and install the original ones from your CD and be right back where you started in 5 min. Surely something similar is possible with Fedora, reinstalling from scratch (as he said he did) seems like massive overkill to me. -- Jesper Juhl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
