Hi
Big problem on a SME 7.5.x server.
background: server had several updates missing, so yesterday I did an ' yum update' and it show 170MB to update.
I did all updates and after hours (8pm) did the signal to post-upgrade/reboot.
Server did not returned!

And server is 50 km away.
Local technician is in front of server and say there are a problem with HDD (they´re RAID1) because startup stopped at "fixing mysql privileges" or something like that.
I ask for a disk check (on startup) and check stops at 3.7% with HDD light allways on! BAD NEWS.
I ask to remove 2nd HDD (older one) and try again: nothing... same error.
I ask to remove 1st HDD and try again: boot and stops at "LI" ... that´s strange... I think would be GRUB in use... this is a SME7.x server reinstalled some time ago!
The same message occour if 2nd HDD is connected in place of 1st one.
I ask to a interative startup, it stops at "Message Bus" service... earlier than in a normal startup.
My only idea would be restart on new pair of HDDs, and try to recovery data from older after installation.
This idea would be start to be implemented in about to 4 hours (time to me to go till there and to they find a new pair of HDDs).
Other idea would be remove that script trying to fix mysql privileges and watch if server run without it.
I try switch to second console (CTRL+F2) but local person say it´s asking for username but after root is typed it never ask for password!
Even if this works I don´t know where find that script (/etc/init.d/local ??) to comment it...
Right now I´m a little lost... without GOOD ideas.
Anyone has another tip/idea ?
BTW: I´m sure this has a HDD media failure as primary reason.
I´m just not sure why second HDD just do not start right, as if 1st one has failed... maybe it failed too... but in this case appears to be a software (and not hardware failure) and I´ll report as bug on bugzilla.
Regards.
