i used a rescue disk to execute a shell, fsck /dev/hda1, and "take" the default choices for "deleted inode foo has zero dtime. fix<y>?" and "illegal block #foo...." anyway, i can almost boot again except i cannot open an inital console: fs: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. unable to open an initial console. i've tried ctrl+alt+f1-12. how would i get an initial console, again. ia, t. bentley taylor. //
