I am still trying to repair my Mandrake 5.3 system. I still get the

I have run e2fsck every which way and it shows no errors. I can mount hda5
manually and startx and everything works normally but no sound, and why I
try to use the modem it tells me I have no PPP support.
=============================================
Is it possible that by mounting hda5 by hand, rather than through a normal
"boot" process, the modules for ppp and your sound card are NOT loaded??
====================================================================
Well it did
yesterday before the crash. And when I reboot I am right back where I
started. Dmesg | less shows no errors but why is the thing booting into ro
mode. etc/fstab looks fine same as before. Can someone from Mandrake soft
please help?
I am out of ideas.
On the other hand I have redhat 6 sitting here and I have been wanting to
try gnome.
===================================================
I still think attempting to recompile the kernel first is worth a try.
Nothing to lose. Also, if you are going to attempt the RH 6 install, I think
it has an option for "upgrade". You might give that a try. That way your
d/led software and settings might be saved. I beliece Mandrake gives such an
option, but I'm not sure about RH.

Good Luck!!!
