Take note of what's mounted as /mnt/sysimage, then unmount it and run
fsck against it.  Your fsck should look like:

	fsck -y /dev/hda1

The "hda1" may be "hda2" or some other name.  If it checks out, reboot
again in rescue mode and let the volume mount again.  You need to know
what kernel version you're running and you'll need to run the following
commands:

	# chroot /mnt/sysimage
	# cd /boot
	# mkinitrd -f -v initrd-(kernel-version).img (kernel-version)
	# exit
	# exit

Replace "(kernel-version)" with the version of the kernel you normally
run on that machine.  The first "exit" will exit the chroot environment,
the second exits the rescue mode.  Pop out the CD and see if it'll boot.
