Well, THAT was fun :( I got up and running by: - Booting from CD1 to linux rescue - cd/mnt/sysimage/etc - edited fstab to comment out the mounting of my two vfat partitions.
It would REALLY seem that dosfsck 2.7 is ALPHA, as noted in the boot messages. What I do not understand is what changed from 7.1. My fstab entries for the two vfat partitions have been the following, for a very long time: /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat vfat user,owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,conv=auto,uid=500,gid=500,auto 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ddrive vfat user,owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,conv=auto,uid=500,gid=500,auto 1 2 Note the 2 at end end of the mount line, which invokes dosfsck. That will get killed in the morning. Wow. And I thought the upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0 was a messy. This is a disaster, IMHO. On 11/17/01, 06:33:27PM -0500, John P.
