After googling, I've done this from a 9.10 XUbuntu live CD.
# mkdir /media/sda
# mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda
Verify that the contents of /media/sda are the root of the old system. See /dev and /proc and /home
# chroot /media/sda
Now
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Chug chug - fail
Following the prompt, I go
#apt-get -f install
Chug chug - fail
# apt-get --fix-broken
Blip - fail
The system keeps asking me "Is /proc mounted?" And well yes it seems to me that is because I see the directory but I see also that it is empty. Is this the problem? Maybe I should link /media/sda/proc to /proc?
Can anyone explain this?
