Hmm tried that but didn't help. I get the same result when booting in rescue mode in read/write or just read mode, / doesn't mount. An error after typing linux rescue states that "some of all of your system did not mount" I'm thinking if I can find a way to edit the /etc/fstab file or mount /dev/hda2 so it's writeable I can get this fixed. I noticed that run level emergency, 0 and 1 are all "read only" run levels.
