[ale] Redhat 7.2 Rescue Mode

[Ryan Neily]

I am having problems with booting into the "linux rescue" mode on Redhat 
Linux 7.2.  According to the documentation, when issuing this command at 
the boot prompt when booting off the CD, it's supposed to "automagicly" 
suppoed to find your linux partition, and mountit to /mnt/sysimage no 
matter where it is (as long as you dont have a SCSI system).

Well, Needless to say this does NOT work.  My Linux partition is on
/dev/hda2, and after the rescue script gives an error, it drops me to a
command line, I still cat mount the partition.  Issuing "mount -t ext3
/dev/hda2 /mnt/foo" does work for me, even after creating the /mnt/foo
directory. I keep getting a "mount failed: invalid parameter" error
message.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  This has got to be a bug of
some sort, but after searching in bugzlla.redhat.com, I cant find anything
referring to it.  Did "good ole" mount change in Redhat 7.2????
