First of all you must be able to boot. Thus you must press 'e' when your grub screen appear with selection highlights on Red Hat Linux. Highlight line consisting 'initrd...' and press 'd'. Press 'b' to boot. Because your partition does not have a journal on it, create one with these steps below. - Make sure you remember the device attached to ide3(34,7), it is something like /dev/hdxx. - After login, umount that device. - Create the journal part with command 'tune2fs /dev/hdxx -O has_journal' - remount that device - reboot the machine Good Luck Anis WN
