Urgent please help!

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Thomas. Do you happen to have any boot floppies to boot a rescue
kernel? How exactly did your redhat box lock up? I think I can help you, I
just need a little more detail. Can you not boot from the hard disk? Do
you get any fs-type errors? Do you get a vfs kernel panic that it can't
mount the root filesystem? Or does the system just hang at boot-time? If
you had a distro such as Debian, FSCK would take
care of most filesystem problems. However, I am not sure as to what type
of filesystem tools that Redhat uses. I can try to look this up though.
