Dear all:

I am running redhat 8.0, 2.14.18 kernel. It just suddenly crashed and
would not reboot again.

> grep: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory Checking root filesystem

However, since my /proc is not mounted,
when I use fsck, it spits out
"/proc/partitions: no such file or directory" error message.

I am really stuck

Does anyone have a fix to this? Many thanks.

John
