Hi, I have installed moblin alpha 2 and I am getting exactly the same error as Jim.
Moblin is in a logical partition which contains also grub. Running fsck /dev/sda5 as adviced by Sébastien works fine in the shell, but I don't know what to do in order to boot moblin. Has anyone got any advice for me ?
