Try something before you reinstall. I'm a little lost as to what is installed on which partition. >From a previous email: > Nothing if I boot from the Recovery floppy. > Using the KRUD CD#1 I see boot,dev,hdb,proc Try booting this way again and cd into the hdb directory. This should be the '/' tree if the fstab you showed eariler is being used. If it is, cd to /hdb/etc. Look at the file /hdb/etc/redhat-release. This will tell you which RH distro's '/' tree you are looking at. If it is RH 9, look at the /hdb/etc/fstab. If that is the fstab you included earlier, then fixing it will likely fix your problem. >From an earlier email you showed a line: > LABEL=/ /hdb ext3 user,owner, exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 Change it to: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 or (if you are sure what partion your RH 9 root tree is on): /dev/hd(xy) / ext3 defaults 1 1 If what is in /hdb isn't your RH 9 release then I am at a loss for now. Worth a shot before a reinstall. Good luck Doug -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
