I used CD #1 and asked it to automatically repair the system. It says it cannot find any partitions with Linux installed - of course I've had it rescan multiple times. The partition editor still shows all partitions as they should be.
What should I do next?
I would try booting from CD to a minimal system and then try mounting partitions one by one. If you can rescue data do it. If you can'n mount, maybe try using fdisk (at your own risk!) on the disk to see what partition types it thinks it has.
John, Thanks. I used the Rescue option this morning, but was unable to mount anything but /dev/hde1 (my "/boot")partition. I finally just bit the bullet and an re-installing now. I was not that far along in my MythTV install, and had learned a good bit by then. Re-installing may end up with better results anyway. However I decided to keep "/" on a separate physical 12GB partition this time. I'll put the video files on XFS under LVM so it can be expanded. At least I should be able to boot in the future. - Richard
