trying to recover linux rather than full reinstall... help needed!
I'm using Fedora core 2 with kernel 2.6.8-1.521. I did a very stupid
thing and forced uninstalled glibc-2.3.3-27.i386.rpm. Linux became
unuseable and won't reboot now (kernel panic).
I booted from CD 1 with 'linux rescue' figuring that as a reinstall of
glibc-2.3.3-27.i386.rpm would correct my problem.
While in rescue mode if I do 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' (as instructed) I
get the message 'cannot execute /bin/sh: no such file or image'. However
/bin/sh is present and works fine from both / and /mnt/sysimage.

Don't use chroot, just install the rpm.
$ /bin/rpm -ihv glibc-2.3.3-27.i386.rpm
or if needed;
$ /usr/lib/rpm/rpmi -ihv glibc-2.3.3-27.i386.rpm
