thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the initrd needing to be rebuilt. i managed to boot from another disk borrowed from another machine and run mkinitrd in a chroot. (the mainboard had trouble handling more than one ide device (it was sold as a scsi raid server, so ide was only there to support the cd drive) so the initial attempts to fix the problem with a live cd failed) in that context, wouldn't it be possible to have a failsafe initrd as an alternative boot option? some other distributions i have seen seem to support a failsafe option.
