I get this right after setting the hostname: Checking root filesystem /dev/hda1 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock. e2fsck -b 8193 fsck.ext3 : No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda1 Failed to check filesystem. Do you want to repair the errors? (Y/N) (beware, you can lose data) Even though this is just a test box, I chickened out and reset the box. /def/hda1 is ext3: [steven@spc1 steven]$ df -T Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 ext3 236M 138M 87M 62% / /dev/hda9 ext3 20G 13G 6.7G 67% /home /dev/hda11 jfs 3.9G 2.7G 1.3G 68% /share_jfs /dev/hda10 reiserfs 4.0G 254M 3.7G 7% /share_reiser /dev/hda12 xfs 4.8G 290M 4.5G 6% /share_xfs /dev/hda8 ext3 236M 4.8M 219M 3% /tmp /dev/hda6 ext3 2.9G 1.5G 1.3G 54% /usr /dev/hda7 ext3 479M 66M 389M 15% /var I tried to build 2.5.62-mm2, but couldn't do to this: fs/devfs/fs.c: In function `devfs_event': fs/devfs/fs.c:63: too few arguments to function `call_usermodehelper' make[2]: *** [fs/devfs/fs.o] Error 1 Steven -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
