Well, guess there's not much more I can do. |

Supposing it doesn't come up, would a rescue CD be required to fix it? |
| 8 |
I left a copy of the old /etc/fstab as /etc/fstab.bak, and setup a |
| 9 |
login with sudo rights to perform the copy, but if the discs don't |
| 10 |
come up, will login be possible? (I remember the NOC saying there was |
| 11 |
a prompt, "enter the root password for maintenance", or something like |
| 12 |
that after a previous failure to boot the 2.6 kernel where the issue |
| 13 |
was the Adaptec RAID and general kernel I2O drivers clashing.) |

I use lilo actually because it does everything I need, and it doesn't |
| 20 |
care that the discs are on a raid array. Grub at least used to |
| 21 |
require a special driver. My lilo.conf is below. So would I need to |
| 22 |
change my boot and root to the sdaX scheme as well? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
# cat /etc/lilo.conf |
