So I will now try your advice. What steps are neccesary to check the filesystem
on that device?
That depends:-)
I'll boot into rescue mode and then I have 3 possibilities:
Skip
Readonly
This is good. This will sort out LVM and such. It's not something I do
manually often enough to coach someone else over the 'net.
When you get to the commandline, several commands will show you what's
mounted.
Normal=readwrite?
Which possibility should I choose?
I always chose readwrite, but with this one fsck went wrong!
Of course. You can't fsck a file that's mounted rw.
But I didn' chroot in. May that have been the failure?
I thought I said to fsck before chroot.
The steps are
fsck
mount -o remount,rw ...
chroot
What I said.
I would then mount the system rw (still running the CD), chroot in, then
rebuilt the initrd.
OK, i'll even try this one.
Thanks for any advice.
Time is running out :(
Let it. Panic, and it's all over.
Don't overlook the possibility you have a hardware problem.

A command modeled on this will show an adequate command:
rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL --scripts
btw I'm not keen on copying all of /boot from another system. It might
be okay, I just don't know _in your circumstances._
