After making a RedHat 6.1 installation while it boots, its processes this
result:
=======
Welcome to RedHat Linux
Press 'I' to enter interactive startup
Mounting proc filesystem OK
Setting Clock : XX XX XX Time IST 2000 OK
Loading default keymap OK
Activating Swap Partitions OK
Setting hostname apcl
Checking root filesystem
/dev/hda5 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Error in reading block 393290 (Attempt to read block from filesystem
resulted in short read) while doing inode scan.
/dev/hda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
FAILED
*** An error occured during file system check.
*** Dropping you to shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintainance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
=========
Now, if I type Control-D it sends the kill signals and reboots and causes
the same thing again - if I supply the root password, it logs me in as root
but makes it 'Read-only file system'
[root@apcl /root]# mkdir test
mkdir: cannot make directory 'test': Read only file system
Tried running fsck:
[root@apcl /root]# fsck
Parallelizing fsck version 1.15 (18-Jul-1999)
[root@apcl /root]#
So, any ideas whatta do ? Try installing again ? Or, I could do something
from here itself ? Any docs around .. ?
Thanks.
