Recovering a broken Linux Operating System part (2/3)

In Suse and Redhat the installation cd has a few but powerful tools, lets call them powertools.  These are memcheck86, a very complete and easy to use RAM health check, with this tool i have diagnosed and resolved a lot of memory problems.

The other powertool is the "Rescue Mode", it looks like this:













And after booting, type "root" and you get in without being asked for a password.





This option do not mounts any disk partition, local or remote.  Once in the machine mount the desired partition:

# mount /dev/sda1 /disc1
# vi /disk1/etc/fstab

The fstab file has the partition table of the system, it is common that the disks changed and the system is not able to find some partition.
