okay, i'm still pretty new at this, so be nice.....
i have a problem when i boot up my box. this is what i get.
Checking root filesystems
e2fsck 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs of something else), then the superblock is
corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /
[FAILED]
***An error occured during the file system check.
***Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
***when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal setup):
Control-D just reboots the system, and i end up back where i started. i
tried running e2fsck with a different superblock, but it just gives me the
same message. i really don't know what is going on, but any advise would
help.
by the way:
Mandrake 7.0
kernal 2.2.14 (i think)
pentuim mmx 166
64 ram
nothing really special after that
i tried getting my zip drive to work right before this happened. i could
not get the zip to mount. it gave me any error message, which i can't think
of. i don't know if this matters, but i thought i'd let you know.
