What does the emergency shell tell you? Have you tried to fsck all the partitions? Are there other kernels available in bootloader, or the failsafe entry. Any error messages during early boot? What Mageia version are you runnign currently?

C'mon, at least provide some basic details. "URGENT Help Please" does not help to solve technical problems.

I can log in into alphanumeric console and I can see all my partitions mounted. I use GRUN2 and first partition on the disc is Windows XP. I can boot XP.
Emergency shell allow me to CTRL-D or type a password and than after that it suggest me to systemctl default, reboot. But nothing helps. Still If I want to boot M3, it goes to emergency shell.
