I think you've got a cross-version problem, as in the database is really
PG 8.0 or earlier but you're trying to run 8.1 against it. What is in
the PG_VERSION file? Have you done "pg_resetxlog -f", and if so do you
have the original pg_control file to put back?

Hi Tom
I have not run "pg_resetxlog -f" on the pg_control file for which I
posted the output of pg_resetxlog -n
as for the versions see for yourself:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/adminlion# cat /var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/PG_VERSION
8.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/adminlion# cat
/olddrive/var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/PG_VERSION
8.1
/olddrive is the former raid drive that holds the database I am trying
to restore.
thanks :)
Bernhard
