Hello,
I've rebuilt the installation CDs and the preinstalled qemu image.
very fine. My old PC had a Hard disk failure shortly after you fixed a
serious disk bug months ago which currputed my partition/filesystems.
I thus changed HD and used your new image to install again.
I installed a fresh system, I used the text installer, also because I
have little memory. Some remarks:
* the pseudo-graphic leads to a black screen, this both with an LCD
monitor and with a CRT that normally syncs almost about anything
* if I enable the network drivers and cfdisk, the network gets
configured but then starting of the disk partitioner seems to hang
* By using just the disk partitioner and noething else, I was able to
complete a basic system install, which also installed grub and
everything! 99% result!
* rebooting the machine did hang however at the unmounting stage, I
waited 15 minutes and then turned power off
At reboot I performed an fsck -fy
I have two partitions, one for /, one for /home
Now, boot will fail however... on screen I have (retyped, I can put the
screen picture ons ome hosting service if needed)
/dev/hd0s1:clean
/dev/hd0s2 is mounted
e2fsck cannot continue aborting.
Automatic boot failed... help!
#
at the prompt I could type cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hd0s1 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hd0s2 /boot ext3 defaults 0 3
/dev/hd0s3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hd2 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 noauto 0 0
what could be the problem? what is failing? it looks quite correct to
me. Swap and CDROM shouldn't be fsck'd and they appear correct.
Someone spots a configuration error? In case it could be something done
by the install procedure...
Do you need more information and/or original screendumps?
