Subject: file system is not mounting

Question
Hi nix,
Hope you are doing well,

Nix, I have installed (perl-5,XFree86) Patches on Redhat-EL4 AS, i Don't find any errors while installing the patches, when i tried to reboot the server the filesystem is not mounting properly
Pls guide me how to mount a file system in single user mode and how to trouble-shoot this issue.
              Thanks in Advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Bharath.  

Answer
Hi.

Installation of patches should have nothing to do with proper FS mount. It would be helpful to know what the error message on the screen is. Does the system even start to boot?

You should be able to boot from the system/installation/rescue CD/DVD and let the utility try to diagnose the problem.

Nix.
