This is really quite strange. I was moving my office from one room to another. I hadn't shut down my computer and when I went to do a "sudo halt" it couldn't find "sudo". It was weird but I was in the middle of moving so I powered off my computer with the power switch.
Now it won't boot. I'm getting an error about an inode block. I can boot into my Windows partition, but I can't get any of my kernels to boot (I always have a few kicking around). They all give an error about a block not being readable (there's actually a line or two before this as well but it scrolls before I can read it carefully): EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,2): ext2_read_inode: unabled to read inode block inode=69633, block=278534 Warning unable to open an initial console then it carries on 20 or so lines until this line: ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,5,7,9,12 PCI status changes and then it stops. I don't have a floppy drive, which means I don't have a recovery floppy. Of course, like everyone else this happens to, I really need to be able to keep my data intact (it is on its own partition). My backups are a week out of date so it's not missing critical, but ... well ... you know how it goes with data. thanks so much for any suggestions! emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin Xtrinsic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
