It is mentioned because RHEL4 is in extended life phase, so not EOL yet.

CentOS 4 is EOL as CentOS does not track the extended life phase of Red Hat.

Dear Sir/s,

What I mean is the system crashed where the OS is no longer booting properly.
This started when I did a "partition resize".

Unfortunately, we don't have any backup of the system.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

CHRIS

Hello Christopher,

As Peter already pointed out it is not done to "hijack" existing
threads. It is confusing for the reader to have a different subject
discussed in an existing thread. Please start a new mail with a
descriptive subject line and send that to the list. Thank you.

Regards,
Leonard.
