Looks like there's no kernel under /boot .
Did you edit your /etc/grub.conf file lately or deleted some files under /boot partition.
If you don't have other selections in your boot menu-then try to boot into rescue mode and see if the information that's in grub.conf file is true and also if all files in /boot are in place..

can you send your grub configuration ?

[Gwendeline]

how can i get it ? I tried to boot from the cd to run rescue but when it ask where is the source image it cannot find the rh cd in the cdrom drive that i just boot up from . I'm not using the original cd for this

[Gwendeline]

when i boot up I get this error right after it tries to detect the scsi devices :

No SCSI boot device found,
SCSI bios no found .

I'm using ML350 g3

[Alexander Chuzhoy]

Have you installed a new kernel/deleted some files under /boot /edited the /etc/grub.conf file?
Do you have another option/kernel version to boot into?

[Gwendeline]

no, I didn't remove any files . and I don't have any other option to boot into.

Hello Moke,

since it seems you are using SCSI disks and the system can not find any, I would start checking the SCSI subsystem for errors (cabeling, termination, disks (do they spin up?)).

Else you could try to access the system either via your installation disks or a boot-CD distro like Knoppix for further investigation.

Greetings, Martin
