I rebooted our mail server this evening to find that it failed to reboot.

I get the grub loader followed by

Loading Linux.............................................

Then nothing!

This is on a suse 9.1 box,running the latest suse kernel.

I have booted from the suse disks and can mount the drive from rescue 
mode, all looks ok to the untrained eye!

My guess is that a kernel update has gone wrong at some point, and the 
reboot has found it, question is how do I recover from this?

(I could really do with avoiding a full rebuild from scratch, the reboot 
was to start a backup of our new dns settings!)

Any suggestions?

Thanks
