Subject: [gentoo-amd64] How to rescue to lost ext3 partition ?? |

hi all , |
| 9 |
I tried to resize my gentoo (ext3) partion with the help of "partition |
| 10 |
magic". |
| 11 |
everything goes correct but in the completion it gave some error. didn't |
| 12 |
know exactly what was that. Then i reboot the system and find out that grub |
| 13 |
was lost and giving error 17. |
| 14 |
=========================================== |
| 15 |
error 17 |
| 16 |
This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem |
| 17 |
type cannot be recognized by GRUB. |
| 18 |
=========================================== |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Now after some efforts I somehow manage to install grub again with the help |
| 21 |
of a Gentoo live cd. But I have no clue for how to get back my gentoo |
| 22 |
partition. Is there any way to rescue that parition?? |
| 23 |
following are some useful info. |
| 24 |
=========================================== |

gentoo ext partion is ..../dev/sda13 |

Are you sure that your system is not on /dev/sda12? |
| 57 |
I would boot an install cd and |
| 58 |
mount /mnt/gentoo /dev/sda12 |
| 59 |
and take a look before the action gets drastic. |
