My /var partition got corrupted (actually, /var/run got totally wacked and
couldn't be read or written) and I couldn't boot. It just hung when it got to
the the part where it tried to mount partitions. Luckily I was able to fix it
with the install cd in rescue mode. I copied all of /var that I could
(including /var/lib/rpm, thank G-d) to a spare directory, did mkfs on /var, and
copied everything back.
