Re: big problem at boot

I hope you have good backups, print the partition table and reload the OS in the box...check the logs maybe someone hack your box and changed things around. Alternatevely, you can always try installing X window system from init 3, try doing a yum grouremove "X Window System" "Desktop" -y && yum groupinstall "X Window System" "Desktop" -y 

Let us know how it goes.

I also tried 1 and 3

It's whorst than expected.
I booted the system with a Centos 5.6 boot disc in rescue mode and when it's 
time to search for linux partition on the system hard disk I get a message 
telling that there is no partition on that disk.

So what's next to recover
