You need a boot disk and a root disk. If you have a Redhat CD, then use it
on another machine to make the root disk - follow the directions under
rescue. Boot off the CD using rescue and stick the root disk in when
prompted. Additionally, the Linux Central Proceedings CD's from the ALS have
a rescue feature if you have one of them. Hope it helps.

Help!  My Linux system is not booting and I have exhausted all
rescue/boot options I know of.  The error is as follows:

init: error in loading shared libraries: /lib/libwcsmbs.so.0: undefined
symbol: _nl_current_LC_NUMERIC

The error occurred after loading "libwcsmbs-0.0.5-2.i386.rpm" file from
rpmfind.net for the HDBENCH program.  I can no longer boot into Linux in
order to remove the errant file(s) which I suspect are
/lib/libwcsmbs.so.0 & /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libcsmb.so.0.  How can I
recovery?  Fortunately I have a NT drive to send this email from.
