Hello,
I have complied dhcpd 2.0 - without any errors. But the service
does not start & there are no error messages in the logs. I just cannot
start the dhcp daemon e.g /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd start - is not working.
pls help .
Vijay.

Thanks guys for looking into my problem

I tried both cfdisk and fdisk to delete and recreate the partition but it
didn't work. And I suppose that they're as well-behaved as partitioning
programs can get. I wasn't too sure about using sfdisk after reading the for
expert hackers only warnings in the man pages. Dos fdisk hangs after the 'do
you want large disk support question'.
After deleting the partition sfdisk gives this output:

Yeah I'm adventurous :-) Any pointers Kala on how to go about it?

Ajay, does this mean that I first delete all the partitions using fdisk
first
and then recreate them? Is it OK to do that with a mounted /dev/hda7 (root)
or
would it be better to boot through the RedHat rescue image on the 6.2 CD.
