[solved][kernel 2.6.16.14-1] don't even see error messages

right before relocating with my laptop i thought it'd be a good idea to do one last update. I updated to kernel 26.16.14-1 (the one the mainpage says to avoid) and turned of the computer. Now when it starts up, i see no errors. it just goes from grub to black and then to the ibm thinkpad turn on screen thing. 
so now in knoppix i explictly mount root
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 -o rw
after trying to update and seeing all the /dev/null permission dienied errors
and chroot into /mnt/hda3, for good messure su into root, and update to the fixed kernel
chroot /mnt/hda3
su root
pacman -Syu
all seems to go well so  i reboot. No luck.
i repeat the same, but instead revert to the last kernel i had working
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.16.12-1.pkg.tar.gz
reboot.
still i don't see any text, just grub->black->start up screen
the little green light seems to show the computer was trying for the few seconds of nothing but black.
did anyone recover from updating to this kernel?
(did i miss a post somewhere about how to recover from a bad kernel?)
thanks
will

yeah tried that again.. still black screen
could i have broken something else that would cause no warnings or errors before reboot
thanks again
will
edit
the problem was how i tried to update/revert the kernel.
pacman  placed the kernel files in /boot on /dev/hda3, however /boot is a mount point for the other partition(hda1). To fix this, i need to mount both partitions and move files from /boot on hda3 to hda1

  • HT1495 I use method 3 to sync my iPad to my desktop which is used to sync my iPod nano. After I done all the steps,how will I sync the separate library to my iPad? I don't see any sync option and don't even see my iPad on the device.

    My iPad is registered in a different account.im having difficulty installing iTunes on my laptop so when I read that multiple iPod,iPad etc can be sync in one computer,I tried making a separate library on my desktop which have an iTunes already.i used my desktop for my iPod nano. After following the instructions, I don't know how to sync it with my iPad now connected on my desktop.i can't see a button or option to sync. And I don't even see my iPad recognize on the device.pls tell me what am I missing. I already sign in so my desktop will be authorize.

    All devices only sync what you select to sync.
    If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

  • Hi on MAC OSX 10.7.4 update on Aperture 3.3.1 has been done, still gget the error message "By opening the databank  for the Mediathek „~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary" is an error" is anybody out there to help me?

    Alex,
    did you just upgrade from an Aperture 3.2.x version to Aperture 3.3.1? This error message usually occures after the upgrade to 3.3.1, when Aperture cannont convert the library format to 3.3. format.
    I'd try to repair the Aperture Library (Mediathek), before upgrading it. Hold down the option-command key combination (⌥⌘) while double-clicking Aperture. This will bring the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" panel forward. Select "Rebuild Database" and see, if it will resolve the the problem.
    Good luck

  • Can't on to iTunes Store. But don't get any error messages

    Since upgrading to 10.6 I can't log on to the store. I don't get any error messages, it just doesn't log on.
    Password etc is right and I can access the internet Ok just not iTunes.
    I have tried downgrading to a previous version of iTunes but then can't use iTunes as I get a message saying the "library is not accesible because it was created
    in a newer version of iTunes"
    I have tried disabling Firewalls and AVG Antivirus without any success.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    Photo Stream does not do videos. For videos, you must import to your computer. You can use iPhoto to import them.

  • I don't get an error message when Nightly crashes.

    Recently my browser has been crashing a lot, but I don't get any error reports or anything that asks me to send a report to Mozilla.
    I use Nightly (64-bit) and I update automatically (currently 24.0a1). My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit). Telemetry, Nightly Health Report, and Crash Reporter are enabled. The last update was 2 hours before and the one before that was 2 days before. As of the last update, the crashing has stopped.
    My concern is that there were at least 6 crashes recorded in the Reliability Monitor in the Control Panel within that time frame, but when I checked the AppData, there was only 1 submitted crash report, and no pending for that time frame. Should I be worried? Am I still sending in information?

    I have a huge problem with nightly!! the problem is I can not remove it from my computer, every thing i did with it was very wavy and I was unable to see any thing single, every thing showed up more than 10Xs on every page, I tried to remove nightly and it refuses to be removed, I waited up to 3 hours for it to be removed and it is still on my computer, please help thanks from me.

  • Firefox is now closing unexpectedly shortly after I open it. There is not even enough time to click on help, then disable ad-ons. I also don't receive any error messages. It just closes after a few seconds. Help! Don't want to use other browsers.

    I came here to post because it seems my question wasn't posting when simply clicking on "ask this question".

    I think in the circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall is called for. Please follow these instructions.
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file using IE8 or 9 and choose to save it to your desktop when you see the prompt.
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox '''and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

    Hello cruzn!
    I found a workaround, but please don't ask me why it works ;-)
    1) Install this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/
    2) Open the config dialog of the addon (via Firefox->Web Developer->Remote XUL Manager or Tools->Web Developer->Remote XUL Manager)
    3) Press "Add" and enter the address of the broken LN-Webpage (webmail07.un.org in this case)
    4) Open the webpage and it should work fine!
    For german users, the interface terms are different: Tools = Extras; Web Developer = Web Entwickler; Remote XUL Manager = nicht-natives XUL verwenden
    I found this workaround through this webpage:
    https://kb.bluecoat.com/index?page=content&id=FAQ1323&actp=RSS
    If it works, let me know. :-)
    If not, i think i cannot help. :-(
    Best regards!
