Guy,
Have you dried booting off your Mandrake CD or Linux root floppy and
tried to mount your old root as a file system on kernel running off the
CD/Floppy? You might have to do an fsck first to get it mountable?
Sorry, if I missed some elses post on this if some one has already said
this.
Thanks,
Eldon
