I have a centos 4 x86_64 machine that has been working fine. It has software RAID-1.
Now when it boots I get the GRUB screen, I get the very first screen about loading Init then I get a prompt about:
Enter Run Level:
When I enter 3 nothing happens... This is obviously not a normal boot situation.
First question: Why this prompt? Second question: since it is software raid do I run e2fsck /dev/sda1 then e2fsck /dev/sdb1? I am booted presently into linux rescue mode. Seems like /dev/md0 is not know in linux rescue...
I presume the file system is messed up so I was wanting to run e2fsck. It is an ext3 system.
Thanks,

He looks like the /etc/inittab file got HOSED. It had nothing in it. I re-created it from another machine and it is OK.
