Hi Y'all, So the 1GB Microdrive came in the mail today and I installed Slackware-8.1 on it. 8.1 was the only distro I could get to work with my hardware, seemingly. So I went through the whole installation process, seemed to go smoothly after I realized NFS works better when the service is running (oi, second time this week..). At bootup, I found out I needed to specify root=/dev/hda3. No big deal. The big deal came after the "mounting root fs in read-only mode".. I get a bad superblock error, and it prompts me for the root password to enter maintenance mode. Okay. No problem. I'll just e2fsck -f /dev/hda3 and see what the problem is.....and it's nothing. e2fsck reports absolutely no problems. But upon rebooting, the same thing happens. During the boot process, e2fsck says something like "error: is a file, trying to open /" and gives the bad superblock error. I am really confused. Why does it give an error during the boot process, but not during a forced manual scan in maintenance mode?
Thanks for any and all help. Cheers, ~Brian -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
