Need help here, one of my RHEL4 server have crash and it is not comming after it crash. the server go to a login prompt before any service started and i cannot login, single usermode is the same.
i use rescue disc and mounted the root filesystem but i found some of the directory like bin boot initrd are unknown to the system it have permission like ?-------, there is other mount point that are also like this but i just delete and recreate it, for boot and initrd how to make the system know that this is a directory?

Have you tried to run a file system check on all the file systems, including "/boot" and "/"? Do you have a backup of the files?
running fsck on root show a huge amount of error and now the /bin directory is gone, looks like i need to reisntall this machine.
I belive it's best to simply reinstall. How did you get the server to crash like that, causing this many problems? Didn't thinkt that was possible, as long as you're running ext3 file system (are you?).
