Mark, thanks for the reply > Boot your rescue CD, go to the command prompt and mount your disk. When > the disk is mounted chroot with this command: > > chroot /mnt/sysimage In trying to boot in linux rescue from CD1 I get: "An error occured trying to mount some or all of your system. Some of it may be mounted under /mnt/sysimage" But when I look in /mnt all there is is "/runtime" and "/source" no "/sysimage". Naturally enough # mount /mnt/sysimage doesn't work (can't remember the exact error message - something about /mnt/sysimage not existing) So, I'm not getting very far yet... Duncan
