I was able to do the following steps in live-cd boot succesfully:<br><br>sudo mkdir /mnt/sysimage<br>sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage<br><br>I did not try to do 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' since I was able to do my repairs without changing the root directory.<br>

</div></div>You did not say, but I guess you are using the 8.10 desktop cd<br>
(LiveCD)? If you hit F1, then hilight F4 and hit enter, it tells you<br>
"there is no dedicated rescue mode on this cd, but you can use this<br>
live cd to rescue the broken system".</blockquote></div><div><br>I did see that and booted into the live cd. However I need to chroot to my install and did not know where my install is mounted. I guess I need to mount my install then chroot to it. But does the live cd make my install visible for mounting? What is the exact steps when in livecd if you know?<br>

<br>
Also, if you get a GRUB loading.... message on the install, hit ESC and<br>
then use recovery mode option to try to fix your system.</blockquote></div><div><br>I don't see GRUB load message since this is a vmware install not a dual boot.<br> </div><div class="Ih2E3d"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Good luck,<br>
