  Well, so much for that.

  That is a topic in and of itself, but before you can try any intrusion
detection methods, you'll still need a working system.

  I should have suggested this earlier [forehead slap]: Dig out your Red Hat
Linux install CDs, and try booting from the first disc.  Give "linux rescue"  
at the SYSLINUX boot prompt.  If your hardware is good, that should get you
to a shell prompt where you can examine the system.
