Thank You. That did the trick. This is the first time in 10 years
that I have needed to do this. It worked like a charm. I didn't
even need to edit the /etc/fstab file. I had told it to boot with
network support and am able to ftp the files to another server before
I reformat and setup everything again. I think I will post this on
my wall so that I never forget.

If you have the rhel cds then put the first one in, reboot, and at
the prompt type:
linux rescue
eventually you will get to a shell where you:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
and then vi /etc/fstab

How can I hash out the line if I can't boot past the error? After
several reboots (and after my original email), I was finally able
to have it ask me for a password or to hit Control-D to
continue. Problem is that once this comes up, my keyboard is
locked up and I can't type anything. During the bootup I can pick
the kernel and so on.

then you can log and in and fsck -p it

RedHat 4.x system.
I am trying to boot a linux system that has 4 HD's. 3 of them
are on in a raid 5 configuration and the other one is the boot
drive with the OS on it. When I boot the system, I get the message
/var/spool/mail contains a file system with errors, check forced.
The file system in question is the raid and is 500GB in size. I
let it run for several days at boot up but it never came out of
the file system check and the hard drive lights stop blinking
after only about an hour, give or take. How can I tell it at
boot time to NOT do a file system check like this so that I can
get into the system and either run it manually or format the partition again.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Steve
