<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had updated a RH7.3 machine to Fedora Core 2
which went OK but I was having network problems. I moved some IRQs around and
now I can't boot my machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the error messages:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mounting root filesystem</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mount error 6 mounting ext3</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd)

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IIRC error 2 (from pivotroot) is "no such file"
which makes sense if it can't mount the root filesystem, I can't remember what
an error 6 is. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
