This is in reference to my RH7.1 box that sits at home. A co-worker turned me on to VMWare and sent me instructions for downloading and installing but apparently something went dreadfully wrong. Rather than relay the entire situation again, here's the e-mail I sent to him:
If anyone has any suggestions, please send them on to me. Help!! >Well, I went and installed the rpm for VMWare, and followed the instructions >that you sent to me. It wouldn't start up at all when I entered >/usr/bin/vmare, but gave me an error message telling me that I had to run >/usr/bin/vmware_configure.pl (or something like that), which I did. > >Strange things happened after that. My mouse became more or less >unresponsive (it would move across the screen and could click on things but >nothing would execute -- I couldn't even click the "log out" button when I >shut down). Now, when I boot the machine, I get the following error: > >/home contains a file system with errors, check forced. >/home: >Unattached inode 288672 > >/home: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY > (i.e., without -a or -p options) >/u2: clean, 11/1376256 files, 43201/2749115 blocks > >[FAILED] > >*** An error occured during the file system check >*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot >*** whne you leave the shell. >Give root password for maintenance. >(or type Control-D for normal startup): > > >This strikes me as kind of bad.
