Please Help ! Fedora 7 no longer boots

[kkempter]

Hi All;

I've been running Fedora 7 on my IBM thinkpad for about 3months with no issues. Today I attempted to go into single user mode by pressing 'a' at the grub menu and adding 'single' to the boot command.

When I tried to boot with the 'single' flag Fedora booted to this point:

"Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 6.0.9 starting

Then it just hangs forever.

Now even if I try and boot normally I get the same behavior !

Any help would be very much appreciated...

not much but,
reach for that rescue disk or LiveCD!
chroot sys or something like that and tinker away

Best of Luck,
Pat Jr.

chances of you getting a good response is higher....

Did you try pressing ENTER just in case the login prompt was hidden by messages?
