Last Friday, I installed 7.2 as an upgrade to 6.0. Since then I have been unable to boot into Linux. I created a floppy boot disk with the install RedHat CDs. When I start up the following happens:
Checking root filesystems (OK) Remounting root filesystems in read-srite mode (OK) Finding module dependicies (OK) fsck.ext2(null): The superblock could not be read .... you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e3fsck -b 8193 <device> :Bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/fd0 At this point it stops and I have to hit restart button. I have bought new floppy disks. I replaced the floppy drive all with no result. I made another floppyboot disk with mkbootdisk. I formatted a blank floppy to ext2 with another box and used that to make boot disk. Redhat support has not helped me. They seems to generally not read questions and give whatever answer first comes to their mind. I asked this question of this list on Friday and received not a single answer. Details: Athalon 700hz processor on epox board (ran fine with 6.0). I choose Grub rather than Lilo. 2 separate hard drives with 1 running wind 98 and the 2nd entirely Linux. I've been working on this for 5 days now and always end up with the same result. It is truely making me crazy. I am about to erase the 2nd drive and go back to 6.0 but the reason why I started this whole trip was that I added a new video card which isn't supported in XWindows that came with 6.0. I thought mistakenly that it would be better to upgrade to 7.2 than upgrade the XWindows version.
