Thanks a million: I did boot on a knoppix cd.  But I renamed the library 
file (libext2"s.so.2.4 to libext2fs.so.2.4) and then rebooted on the 
hard disk.  I didn't really expect this to work but it did.  Now I'll do 
a postgres backup (for which I need the running system as it is), then 
I'll do a complete backup.  I guess its a good time to upgrade from 
Redhat 7.3 too?!
