Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to boot

So /dev/sda5 may contain a damaged filesystem, and it might be an important  
one. There are some posts on the Internet with problems kind of similar to  
yours. Most of them recommend trying to fix the damaged partition, which  
fixed the problem. Did you try running "fsck -y /dev/sda5"?
However, as far as I can see fsck may not be included in Trisquel's version  
of BusyBox. Do you have some Trisquel Live medium like a CD or a USB drive?  
If so, you could try using that to fix the damaged filesystem. Insert the  
CD/USB, boot into the live environment ("try trisquel without installing")  
and run "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda5" in a terminal.
