If you boot the install CD/DVD with 'linux rescue' at the command
prompt and your fstab file is correct, it should mount the system
partitions for you and suggest a chroot command for troubleshooting.
After you do the chroot, you'll have all the installed system
facilities at your disposal to edit the /etc/modprobe.conf file and
run mkinitrd, including the man pages. When you are done, type exit
twice to unmount cleanly and reboot (once for the chroot shell, once
for the rescue shell). If the rescue mode boot doesn't mount the
partitions for you, then you have some other problem to fix first.
Thanks Les, I printed this email and will spend time doing it right.
I have just a standard IDE controller so expect to see nothing.
Perhaps you have some other problem then. Did the rescue mode boot
mount the partitions automatically and suggest the chroot command?
