I am using Redhat ES 3.0 with GRUB. So you actually get to grub? if you reach grub, you should be able to use the grub commandline to boot the system manually without a rescue disk. Assuming your /boot partition is /dev/hda1 and your root partition is /dev/hda2, then you should be able to boot by doing something like this: root (hd0,0) kernel /KERNELVERSION ro root=/dev/hda2 initrd /INITRDFILE boot If /boot is /dev/hda2, then use (hd0,1) The nice thing about grub is that it allows file tab completion once it knows the correct partition to access, so you should be able to write "kernel /vmlinuz<TAB>" and get a list of valid versions. Then specify the initrd file that matches the kernel version.
