Hi,
in my case it is a PII with a classic IDE hard drive... which worked
just before... for years!
It is something new, also I wonder.. .how to fix it now :)

Hi,
after the last udpate (I admit, a couple of weeks ago before the
holiday season) which was apparently successful, my system doesn't
boot anymore.
I get:
<...>
start ext2fs: ext2fs: device:hd0s1: warning: FILESYSTEM NOT UNMOUNTED
CLEANLY; PLEASE fsck
Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs[device:hd0s1] exec
And here it hangs forever, no disk activity, nothing (although
eventually the screen will blank)
I then tried to enter GRUB and use the "recovery mode" ( is this the
new wording for single-user?)
The output changes, but hangs in the same place:
<...>
start ext2fs: ext2fs: device:hd0s1: warning: FILESYSTEM NOT UNMOUNTED
CLEANLY; PLEASE fsck
ext2fs: device:hd0s1: warning: MOUNTED READ-ONLY; MUST USE 'fsysopts
''writable'
Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs[device:hd0s1] exec
What is happening? is ext2fs server haning because my filesystem
wasn't cleanly unmounted? It would be nice to get at least in
single-user and run fsck!
