[antonysunny]

Hi,

Fedora 10 GUI hangs on login screen and there is no response from keyboard...

able to login to single ser mode...there are lot of free spaces in all the partitions...

If we try to login with init 3..then the network interfaces are not showing up...

I tried logging with rescue mode..able to get network interfaces...

am unable to repair the root partition...I would like to know how to umount root partition...

I tried linux rescue nomount in rescue mode..the command is not working...

Please help me..

I would boot up with a live cd so that you don't have to mount the root partition and then run the partition repair from there.

Yes i tried booting in rescue mode its not repairing.....if i try doing fsck while mounted will it cause any issue

No you shouldnt fsck while mounted. If you have already booted from an actual live cd (not the operating system installed on the disk you are trying to fix) and ran fsck on the partition and it did not fix it then your drive might be gone.
