Thanks for ur reply,
Let me be little clear in explaining the problem to u.
I have redhat 9 installed on machine A for ex which was workin fine and sudenly when i reboot the other day it refused to boot giving me segmentation fault.
the things i have done are
I moved the HDD to another identical machine (same model say machine B ) and it gave me the same problem.
so obviously the problem was either linux OS being curropted or HDD problem
i can use linux in rescue mode and all partitions are mounted and all the data is fine
now i tried to upgrade redhat 9 when everything goes fine until the screen where it shows me the packeges being copied .
its starts with lernel packafe the first one and after completing it .. it jus stops . does not go forward.
i even tried deleting all files in the /boot partition but same problem.
now i was think of formating the boot filesystem only and resinstall linux again..
will it affect the data on my other partitions..
or apprecite if u cd sugest me some other step
thnks and appreciate
regards
simon

Hi,
I suggest running memtest86 (from a bootable CD) on your machine
and/or installing Fedora Core on a new machine, then move your existing
harddisk to the
newly installed machine and read your data off the disk on there.
