The filesystem is ext3. I ran fsck.ext3 -f /dev/hdc1 from the FC5 rescue
disk and all was fine. The partition was never part of an LVM group.

Just to restate the original info :

In Fedora Core 6 I can not mount the partition on one of my hard disks.
It was fine in FC5, and I can mount it in the FC5 rescue disk. The
device entries /dev/hdc and /dev/hdc1 exist. It seems like it was
noticed during boot because I see a message in /var/log/messages :

Jan  4 18:21:13 gargon kernel: hdc: 390721968 sectors (200049 MB)
w/8192KiB Cache,CHS=24321/255/63, UDMA(100)
Jan  4 18:21:13 gargon kernel: hdc: cache flushes supported
Jan  4 18:21:13 gargon kernel:  hdc: hdc1

When I try to mount it I get :

sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /tmp/hdc1/
mount: /dev/hdc1 is not a valid block device

The hdc1 does not show up in /proc/partitions nor in /dev/disk/by-path/
where hdc shows up as pci-0000:00:0f.1-ide-1:0 -> ../../hdc

Does anybody know what's going on?
