debs, my only stable lapbox won't boot slink anymore. (i hit the off button before a complete "halt" was achieved--( a bonehead move, i know)). here's the last portion of the script before it hangs:
/dev/had5 was not cleanly unmounted; check forced. /dev/hda5: unattached inode 370715 /dev/hda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck Manually. (i.e., without -a or -p options) fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. Please note that the root filse system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write: # mount -n -o remount, rw / CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and REBOOT the system. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control -D for normal Startup): // from there, i log in as root and type "fsck," i'm prompted to run "e2fsck." when i do, i get this message: e2fsck 1.12, 9-Jul-98 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Using EXT2FS Library version 1.12, 9-Jul-98. // at this point, i'm stumped. but my suspicion is that inode 370715 (whatever that is) needs attention. can anyone please help? ia, t. >> Bentley Taylor << ______________ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
