hope someone can help me
thx

start your system with a rescue cd and check your partitions.

in the rescue enviroment, the system cant be mounted.
by the way my hard driver is scics.
it seem that the hard driver is unrecognized .
in rescue mode i used the command "fdisk -l" and nothing was showed.

more information:
i set up my linux OS in the vmware vitual machine. and i find that the scics hard driver meet this problem.

did you chroot to /mnt/sysimage/ and used the fdisk -l command.

when i type "chroot /mnt/sysimage/"
it's replays :no such file or directory .
because in the rescue mode when I trying to mount the sys under /mnt/sysimage
the error come up :
"you don't have any Linux partitions .press return to get a shell the system will reboot automatically when you exit from the shell ."

I don't know how to do ~~~
ths for your reply.

can you tell me something that you have vmware vitual machine running what. its running on windows, or Linux.because it looks like that you have some problem with the partitions or may be there are no partitions at all.

the vmware virtual machine runing on windows vista.
the (virtual machine) hard disk is(SCSI),80G, OS: Red hat enterprise linux server release 5.
this virtual machine is called serverA
I created serverA by CLONEZILLA.
the promblem is when i created another virtual machine (ServerB and used IDE hard disk),it can work.

i really dont know why?
expecting for your reply~~

okay from your windows vista in disk management can you see the Linux partition, or not. you may see unknown partitions. if no then something happend with the partitions.

may be i am confused。
there is only one os running on the virtual machine,that is redhat linux.
i cant see the linux partition.becauase the windows vista is not in the virtual machine.

vista is my host OS. and i create a virtual machine by vmware workstaion. with this virtual machine i set up redhat linux .
do you know ?
BTW
i am not good at English.

anyone can help me
ths!!!

What do you mean by 'linuxserver'?
Try turning the ACPI off either in the bios (simplest) or at the start of Grub.

Fred

linuxserver means a linux operate system machine.
I dont know how to turn the ACPI off, because i cant find any options about ACPI in the bios.
