Rescue FC3T1



Hi, all,

I have install FC3T1 for a while and is quite happy about it. All of the sudden the harddisk (/dev/hda) of /boot failed and the PC cannot be boot up again.
So, I replaced the harddisk, inrestalled FC3T1 and of course itthe PC works again.


The problem is: in its previous 'life' , its mount is something like this:

/dev/hda1     /boot
/dev/md0      /
...
[snip]
...

That means I have used a RAID0 device to be mounted at '/'

When I reinstalled the system, since only hda is broken and I want to be able to see/use /dev/md0, I only choose to mount
/dev/hda1 as /boot
/dev/hda2 as /


My problem is How can I switched the '/' form /dev/hda2 back to /dev/md0?

What I have tried is to change the kernel parameters in /boot/grub/grun.conf and changed
root=LABEL=/ to
root =/dev/md0


In this case, when the boot up sequence reaches SELinux it just fires up tons of message. The swtich failed

Can anyone advise me how to switch '/' moun in this case? Is there a better way to rescue it.


BTW, when I tried to use the rescue function of FC3T1, it always failed by reporting 'File already exists'. It then shows me the only choice : reboot. I did not really write the exact error message because I was in hurry.


(Sorry, I guess it is slightly OT. However, here is the only relevant linux list I subscribed to and search using keyword like 'md0' or 'recovery' just produces tons of search results which is not possible for me to sort out. :-( )

Any help appreciated!

AK
