Stuck at Remounting Root File system read-write mode

$

HI

 

 

Running ESX 3.   ESX is installed on it's own disks.   Created 2 other disks on local storage on 2 different RAID arrays.    I have several virtual machines running on one of the RAID arrays.   

 

 

I realized that I had accientally formatted one of the disks as a RAID0 instead of a RAID5.    I DID NOT disconnect the storage before bring the ESX server down and reinitialized the drives as a RAID5 using the Dell RAID controller software.  

 

 

Upon reboot, the server hangs during boot at    "Remounting root file system read-write mode"

 

 

I assume it is looking for the storage that it was using prior to my reinitialization.   What do I need to do to tell it that the storage it is no longer there so I can get ESX to boot?   I realize I probably should have disconneced the storage before making changes to the disk.

 

 

I'm not much of a Unix guy but I can get around.  May need a little detail on command though.

 

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

 

Thank You
