Unmount the /boot and make sure there are no other submounts on / then try your remount again. If it works then remount /boot on top of it.

Please don't double post.
Have you tried using a livecd like a few others already recommended? |

trying with your solution i can boot withthe cd but just wanted to work the other way round if possible |
hey every one
i got the solution without using the cd . thsi is what i did 1. logged in emergency mode 2.mount /dev/sda2 /boot 3.cd /dev 4.mkdir tmp 5.cp /boot/initrd(xyz).img /dev/tmp/. 6.cd /tmp 7.mkdir tmp2 8.gunzip -v -S .img /dev/tmp/initrd(xyz).img // THIS WILL UNZIP THE FILE 9.cd tmp2 10.cpoi -id < ..initrd(xyz) // THIS WILL EXTRACT THE INITRD FILE 11. make the fstab in etc directory thus extracted here 12. edit the init file to mount the / partion and the swap partition 13. find . | cpoi --create --format='newc' > /dev/tmp/newinitrd 14. gzip newinitrd // this will create neinitrd.gz 15. cd .. 16. mv newinitrd.gz initrd(xyz).img 17. cp /dev/tmp/initrd(xyz).img /boot/initrd(xyz).img 18. reboot the system 19. work as you want |
