Sounds like you just recompiled or upgraded your kernel? Doesn't Grub give you the possibility of loading your old kernel (unless you deleted it) from a menu at startup?

Urgh - if you did nothing but a hard reset it sounds like your filesystem may be broken very badly. What does fsck tell you? Any errors?

and keep press [Yes] to correct the Filesystem

hi,

I have 1 IDE and 1 SCSI for this machine,

now i reinstall a fresh linux into IDE /dev/hda1 (which is use for temp backup),

and try to remount the SCSI which is /dev/sda1 to /home2 , /dev/sda2 to /home3 , /dev/sda3 to /var

So, i can retrieve the data from SCSI drive

can any one tell me the correct command to remount the SCSI partition ?

yes.. i have install the fresh linux 9 into IDE hda1,

but when boot, i need to manually edit the grub, change root=LABEL to root=/dev/hda1

and now .. booting until .. / filesystem error,Check forced

so i login root, then fsck / , then reboot

it keep checking / again ?
