Would appreciate any ideas before I bite the bullet and have to reinstall. <SNIP> What should I do next? --

Have you gone to 'rescue' and created a directory on which you can attempt mounting the partitions manually?? You might be able to find something out, that way. Also, FWIW, you might get acquainted w/DAR before you do anything else unorthodox. I *love* doing unorthodox stuff, myself! ;-)

Thanks. I tried this morning. I was able to mount /dev/hde1 (my "/boot")partition, but none of the others. 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
