RE: Red Hat problems

Sounds like you are in single user mode. Try restarting the box using the
following command
 
  shutdown -r -f now
 
Which should shut the server down, do a reboot, and bring it back up the way
you are used to. If this does not work let me know and I will show you how
to fix the root of the problem and fix it for sure.

Subject: Red Hat problems


Hello,
 
Currently running red hat 7.0 as a report server. Just recently our report
server stopped sending out reports. At the time we didn't have the root
password so we followed the knowledge base and used lilo to reset our root
password. However, after new password is entered this message appears at the
next prompt "file repair (#)" each time we attempt a command it echos back
same message with a new number. How do we initiate the repair to these
files? We got a copy of Knoppicks Konqoueror and can view the current
h/drive and found the location of the fstab on hda8. Also couldn't restore
from a zip b/up as well kept getting unknown file system. 
A consultant advised to install a new h/drive & zip to see if we could copy
the file from the existing drive. Knoppicks program see's both drives but
since its read only unable to move files to new location. When attempting to
restore from b/up still get unknown file system message. After installing
red hat on new drive attempted to manually copy files to new drive. However,
old drive hda8 isn't recognized when inputting /mnt commands and such. We've
followed the commands in books and knolwedge bases to assist us but to no
avail. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated at this point.
