What jefferson says is correct, I can mount the volume with the rescue cd, in /mnt/sysimage.
If I browse around (within /mnt/sysimage) I can see 'everything', not just etc. However, /initrd is empty and in /etc there are a bunch of damaged files, initrd.conf, ldap.conf ... but those are just a few (a dozen or so) (an ls in the directory would show some question marks on the lines with damaged files. I tried to rename one of the damaged files and got an Input/Output error. Actually the server does start booting, the kernel starts loading but a kernel panic occurs. It says it cannot find/use /initrd/dev that it is trying to kill /sbin/init (/sbin/init is there and seems ok) and that is when the panic occurs. (and that is true, /initrd is empty) Jefferson Ogata wrote: > On 2010-06-04 18:57, Paul M.
