Hi,
My server been built with fc3. After doing lots of operations
(installing a number of packages) for months, I experienced strange
behavious on "the Nautilus file explorer".
Then, I decided to reboot it. But this time I have no luck. It fails
to boot. Stopping at the stage when showing the line : "configuring
kernal parameters....". Just stop there and never proceed.
I don't know what to do. I have the fc3 installation cd-roms on hand.
Putting disk 1, they have the rescue option. But how to use it to
recover my machine? While this is not yet a production server, I
don't want to loose the latest changes/settings I've done.
How to rescue it?
Or shall I use fc4? Is fc4 more stable than fc3, have better
advantages?
Thanks in advance,
jack ling
Hi Jack
If you boot from disc 1 and at the boot prompt type 'linux rescue' it
will boot from the CD, load a kernel, look for your system and mount it
as /mnt/sysimage.
If you then 'chroot /mnt/sysimage/' you've got your system available to
you so you can then look into what the problems are.
