Hello list,
I Booted nicely into FC4 / KDE, and was trying to set ALSA sound
parameters to make the 6 channels work correctly (they were going here
,there and no-where) then I saw this
1. while opening konsole and error appeared (twice)
fgrep: error while lkoading sharedlibrary, /lib/libpcre.so.0: cannot
read file data: invalid argument
fgrep: error while lkoading sharedlibrary, /lib/libpcre.so.0: cannot
read file data: invalid argument
but allowed to work in konsole
2. then there was a full lockup, no mouse, no keboard response,
therefore no virtual console also. I had to press reset button.
3. Then FC4 refused to boot; boot process starts and comes upto a
stage and hangs
following is as best I could note as seen on screen
quote
...

Computer is working as I writing this via knoppix....CD
I have the root on /dev/sda3 (ext3) partition and rest of linux on
/dev/sda4 LVM2
# sfdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 9733 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

------------------------------------------------------------------------
So dear friends help me recover the LVM /home partition
Please tell me how
1. to repair through the rescue disk..
2. to mount LVM in this case
I suspect that as soon as a request to access /dev/sda4 is made the
error appears; I may be inaccurate.
