Re: Fedora Upgrade seems to have killed my RH 9 box

OK, I can type e2label and I get something, but I don't think my hard drive is mounted. If I do df, I get:

Filesystem
rootfs
/dev/root.old
/tmp/cdrom

How do I get to a command line where I can execute this. I tried "linux rescue", but all I get is:

You don't have any Linux partitions. Press return to get a shell. The sysem will reboot automatically when you exit from the shell.

I tried both the Fedora CD and RH 9 CD to "rescue" it.

In /sbin, all I have is:

init
insmod
loader
modprobe
rmmod
sh

Can I download e2label and run it from a floppy or something?

Thanks,

Matt

Find out which of your partitions is the root partition. Then run /sbin/e2label on it to see what the current label is. Afterwards run /sbin/e2label /dev/hdWHATEVER / to create the '/' label on it.

I removed some of the kernels last week, so don't know if this would
cause any issues.  Any ideas on how to recover this sucker?
