Stef,

I've noticed during the boot sequence of 2.4.18, after the ramdisk is loaded there is 
a 5 second pause during which time you can get a root shell.

Do you get this opportunity? I realize it asks for a password, but it is one more 
thing to try.

Other than that, using a rescue disk or the install CD as a boot disk is all I can 
think of.
