My laptop doesn't boot Linux on hda3 anymore. I just installed a new system
by overwriting the swap partition on hda2. My first attempt of running e2fsck
gives:
The filesystem superblock is corrupt. Try running e2fsck with an
alternate superblock using the -b option. (8193 is commonly as
alternate superblock; Henc 'e2fsck -b 8193 <device>' may recover
the filesystem.)
I tried this, but it didn't work either. Any help as to what I might do now
would be welcomed. The partition table is as follows (in sectors)
# Type First Last Offset Length Filesystem Type Flags
1 Primary 0 131039 63 131040 Dos 16bit 06 None
2 Primary 131040 180431 0 49392 Linux (83) Boot
3 Primary 180432 1032191 0 851760 Linux (83) None
and was created by the Debian install disks around February or March.
Thanks in advance, Dirk
