[afnog] Need Help - grep: /proc/cmdline: no such file or directory

[Ayitey Bulley]

Hi Emmanuel,

Try reinstalling the system but preserve the data on the partitions you 
created with the initial install, this should repair the corrupted /proc 
directory and leave your data on the other partitions intact.

You may be asked to reformat the swap partition, you can answer yes to that.

Use with caution ;o)
