I've just spend about 30 minutes trying to reboot my Sid machine :( During boot it tried to run fsck on /tmp/rootdev. That failed, telling me to do it manually instead. Logging in as root and poking around told me the following:
1. /dev/mapper/VGRoot-LVRoot1 was mounted on root 2. /dev/mapper/VGRoot-LVRoot1 didn't exist 3. /tmp/rootdev did exist, wasn't mounted, but I couldn't run fsck on it. Booting a Ubuntu LiveCD I ran fsck successfully on the device (logical volume). That didn't fix my booting problems though. :) I found out that not running checkroot.sh at all during bootup is a bad idea. Instead I ended up commenting out the following lines: # # The actual checking is done here. # if [ "$rootcheck" = yes ] then if [ -f /forcefsck ] then ... log_end_msg $FSCKCODE fi fi This is probably not a good solution in the long turn, but it allowed me to boot, log in, and send this email. :-) Anyone else with similar problems? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
