Recovery

  • Hard disk was still functional!  I put it onto the foce2 system in the software lab, and booted it. 
  • Borrowed an Acronis TrueImage bootable backup CD from Todd Ruston in IS.  Booted off the USB DVD drive, and imaged the entire disk
  • Put this image in //tornado/ProjectLibrary/900719_FOCE/FOCE.Software/foce3Image/foce3.tib
  • I then replaced the foce2 hard disk on this system, and attached the foce3 hard disk as a slave IDE drive.  I tar'd the entire foce3 root file system, and placed this tar.gz file into //tornado/ProjectLibrary/900719_FOCE/FOCE.Software/foce3Image/foce3.tar.gz
  • I unmounted the slave drive, and ran e2fsck on it.  It passed with flying colors.

Network Problems

If the system doesn't find eth0, you may have a problem with udev mapping, due to using an ethernet adapter with a different MAC address.  If this is the case, you must manually edit the file at /etc/udev/rules.d/z25-persistent-net.rules
