I was working on XEN and had redhat running on it. I had created a file which I mounted and used as a disk image. Now I thought that I was modifying the /etc/fstab on this mounted file, but instead I modified the actual(on the root filesystem) /etc/fstab. Now on booting linux tells me Checking root filesystem Possibly non-existent or swap device? fsck.ext2: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sda1 This is true because /dev/sda1 is a mounted filesytem and not a real harddisk. I removed the entry which pointed the root filesystem to be on /dev/hda1. I tried using a boot floppy but no use it simply loads the kernel from the floppy and then continues to load the disk image by reading /etc/fstab. all i want is to get a shell where i can modify /etc/fstab. thanks. deepak _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
