Rescue Cd for Debain - jsn06 - 2005-10-01
Let's say you comiled your kernel & on boot you get an old kernel panic or something else;
Get your DVD OR CD install disk or even a netinstall disk should work
Boot from the dvd or cd install disk & at the prompt put in # rescue root=/dev/hda5
example_where (dev /hda5 is your debian partition) your root partition
don't hesitate to discover different options with F1
Your box should boot up normally with the kernel of the cd or dvd where you will find all your partitions and all your data untouched at the same place you left it before.
Now, as everything is almost back ,fix the error or mistake you have done where you have last compiled your kernel & you should be done .
