Ok, I can do that and fdisk sees the two drives, /dev/sda and sdb but
not /dev/sdc which I believe is the CDROM drive? And that's what's

But if it is the cdrom it used it to get started!
And I still can't ssh into box6 [the failed unit]. It just reports no
route to host.
This leads me to suspect that you don't understand what rescue mode does.
You should boot the computer that failed from the rescue cd. After it's
booted, you can use the keyboard that's attached to that computer to "do
things", be that copy data off of of the hard drive or run fsck or whatever you
need to do.
sshd is not started by default when booting in rescue mode, so you won't be
able to log into that machine remotely unless you take additional steps (that
also involve typing on the keyboard that's attached to the computer you just
booted in rescue mode) after booting it up.
Yes, I've been typing a lot of things on the keyboard but obviously not
the right things.
The computer shows that /dev/sda and sdb are there but I can't mount
them because it doesn't see my original /etc/fstab apparently? Well
even then I don't know how to address those drives because of the LVM?
I would be quite happy if I could access those drives and extract data.
There's nothing life or death on there but I would like to get a few
things off if I can't fix it so the install will finish. I don't know
why preupgrade is looking for /dev/sdc2. In fact I'm not sure what sdc2
is, it's either the CDROM drive or another drive I pulled to use in this
computer, the original XP drive.
Whatever I can't mount either drive since I apparently don't know the
right procedure if it can be done?
Service sshd status on both computers is running but I get "no route to
host" in both directions, going from either one to the other but then I
don't know if the "bad" computer is still 192.168.1.6 with the Live CD
running linux rescue?
