Re: grub rescue> (getting error: unknown filesystem) for all filesystems!
Since this boot disk is 146gb (2.5" sas drive) and has some important data that needs to be retrieved, one option i thought was to take it out from broken system and insert it into another system running debian that has a empty filler disk panel. I did that thinking it will auto-recognize the disk but it did not.
What is the debian cli to run a scan/probe like in solaris (devfsadm -C) to auto-recognize the newly added disk? That way i can mount it on /mnt and retrieve my files over.
Thx for any pointers!

debian 6.0 on intel chipset
architecture (not amd chipset). It's HP Gen7 system with no
dvd drive (only usb).
Will the file 'debian-live-6.0.4-amd64-rescue.img' that we
have handy help here to recover from above failed server?
Note the filename has amd in it and so am not sure if it
will work for intel chipsets based system or not. The size
of this img file is 600196kb file. There is no debian or
livecd media.
From another good running debian 6.0 system i tried running
dd if=/var/tmp/above-filename of=/dev/sdbe1 bs=4M; sync
(where my sdbe1 was the usb flash drive). After the command
i inserted this usb on the broken system and tried to boot
from it, it won't recognize it still.
Also, i tried putting a redhat 6.3 x86 and also rhel 5.3 x86
dvd in the usb dvd drive and tried to boot from it, it says
cannot find it.
am stuck now and need help!
