RE: Error Messages during installation!

Apparantley you have cross links on your hd. I am not that expert in linux, but here is a way out:

1. First you need to know on which partition you installed RH. In the emergency shell, type

fdisk /dev/hda

I am assuming you have installed RH on the first hd, for the second hd it would be /dev/hdb.

 

2. In fdisk, type 'p' to print the partition table. Write down which partition has an id of 83 for the linux system. I 'll assume it is hda1.

 

3. Type 'q' to quit from fdisk.

 

4. Type:

    e2fsck -p /dev/hda1

    to repair the filesystem automatically.

 

5. Type:

reboot

to restart the system

 

U should be happier by now...
