Sorry I wasn't more clear. Booting failed, because the filesystem couldn't be mounted, because the automatic fsck failed. I wasn't willing to try mounting it without fsck'ing. The rescue disk (a gentoo livecd) let us fsck, then it seemed safe to disable (in fstab) the fsck on booting. > I just played with the fsck and to get rhel3 to fsck the rhel5 originating > filesystem I had to ermove the "resize_inode" feature.

If we do have to reboot before upgrading this box to rhel5, then we'll give this a try.
