Generally speaking you have at lest two possibilities: 1. Boot from the installation media and use the "rescue" kernel boot option. 2. Append "single selinux=0" to your kernel configuration line in the GRUB boot menu. The option "single" will boot into a single user mode, without any services, while "selinux=0" will deactivate SElinux extensions. The system will probably still complain about bad/missing partitions, but it should offer you a rescue console. Since the root partition is mounted read only you have to remount the root partition read/write by typing "mount -o remount,rw /". Then you can edit your /etc/fstab with vi or any other available editor. After a reboot, everything should be fine. > If there is some magic tool I need what is it?

The is no need for magic, the built-in and installed tools should be enough. It is their usage which needs some expertise (no offence intended). > 2.

The last column in /etc/fstab tells the system whether or not to run a periodic check on a partition - read the tune2fs and fstab man-pages for more information. A "0" means no check at all, "1" means exclusive periodic check (typically used only for the root partition), "2" means parallelised checks are allowed. > Thanks for the help as I'm quite frustrated. Do not give in. You can learn a lot from this problems - at least how to avoid them in the future. -- bye Adalbert -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
