Hi Karl,

after finding for atleast 8 hours, I figured out its selinux.

I am sure updates included 23 packages and one of them was for selinux (for sure).

with rescue CD, I tried disabling selinux from /etc/selinux/config file and I was able to reboot it successfully. but when I enable selinux (permissive of enforcing) and try rebooting, it stops at reboot with the same error. I believe selinux tries to label the filesystem at startup and fails to do so hanging the reboot to. this machine is public network sometimes and I cant afford to have security disabled by selinux.

How should I move ahead? I looked into selinux problems on net but there is no pointer to such thing.

one more question?? am I mailing in the right group? I mean it looks like I am the only newbie here and there may be some other group of fedora where starters like me can actually interact without disturbing others.

thanks for reply,

regards
parth

    It sounds like something you downloaded messed up the file system.
Did you try using Control-D and what happened?

    If you can remember what you downloaded it might help.

    The rescue disk lets you mount your system to the small system on
the CD. Then you can go to your system and change things. I just looked
at my fstab and I may have a problem too :-)    The swap files look wierd.

    There are some applications you can run that clean up a file system.
Been a few years since I had to do that. It is like e2fstak or something
like that and it will be on the rescue disk
