The superblock on an importnant hard disk has fried.
Attempts to boot the hard drive results in a Kernel Panic VFS: Unable
to mount root fs. LILO boot ok. The error comes about when mount the
root fs.
Moving the disk to the second drive on a system and attempting to
mount it result in messages about the superblock being corrupted and
its an invalid ext2 fs.
fsck -t ext2 also fails. It is definitely an ext2 fs.
Low level diags say I have 3 bad sectors on the disk in the low range,
but I don't have software to rectify them
I need to get 1 or 2 configuration files off this hard drive, the
reset can crash and burn
I have even tried to use Norton Utilities in Maint Mode.
Is there any tool or help or any secret mount/fsck options available
Any help or advice is warmly appreciated.
SK
