[mythtv-users] Help! Changed /etc/modules.conf and now system won't boot

[John Kinsella]

Boot off install CD, get shell, mount partition and edit.  Or boot
single user, not sure if that'll get around a module problem, I suspect
not.  Tis easy, should be a FAQ in anybody's distro...haven't done it on
Mandrake before, can't give details, sorry.  Keyphrase is probably
"recovery shell."
