Problema Starting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8

Hello,

Can anyone help or have any ideas?

I have a machine with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8.

There was a power outage and when I turn on the machine, Linux is loaded, though to a login screen:

(none) login:

And not advance.

Have booted to recovery disk and also did not succeed.

When I run the command chroot / mnt / sysimage, it does not find / bin / sh

I have no backup of the data.

Thank's

so you DO get to the gnome login screen ?
or
is it the text based headless server login prompt ?

also there are NO !!! blank spaces in the install location from the install cd in recovery mode

Code:

chroot /mnt/sysimage

that will be the installed OS
look at the loges

Code:

cd /var/log

ls

---------- then read the log you want - likely the boot log ----

nano boot.0.log

also this is Redhat
so
you DO have a paid for and required support contract

have you used it

Just saying "did not succeed" tells us nothing. And I strongly doubt that you're posting the ENTIRE set of messages/errors you got after it came back up. Chances are the system told you to fsck some of your volumes manually. Did you?

Since you're using RHEL, you can contact RHEL support for help..you are PAYING FOR RHEL, right??? They can also direct you to such things as this:
http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/rescue_mode.html
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/9541

...which will walk you through running fsck's on your file systems from rescue mode. Chances are your journals are corrupted, and running fsck will get things mounted/booting again.

Then you don't have very good systems administrators at your company. Backups should be taken regularly, for just such reasons. ALL HARD DRIVES WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL, period. Even SSD/flash drives, CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc. ANY physical media will eventually become unusable. What, exactly, were you planning on doing when that drive died, since you didn't have backups???
