grub and fstab
 

hi

please..

Just reinstall them from your backup. You do have a backup of your system, don't you? Otherwise, they're just text files that you can edit/create in a text editor.

Here's a good primer for fstab. Execute mount -l to see your system's current setup.

Here's a sample grub.conf file. Here's the grub manual. You need to know where things are located on you system to create the file.

u should install initscripts rpm in rescue mode for /etc/fstab and for grub.conf simple copy that file from another machine if u have or u can manually create that file in editor in original location /boot/grub/ this will may sove yr problem.

I don't catch how you can boot without them... The only way to fix it is to find some samples using google and modify them according to your hardware.
