Ack . . Well, I recently upgraded the kernel my woody box from 2.2.20-compact to 2.4.16-686-smp. It went fine, except I had to run modconf to enable the loading of the 5c59x module. Not big whoop to you gurus, but a first for me . ..
But today the system went Gack(1) - it had a SCSI error on the console and everything was locked, so I had to hard-boot, and when it came back up . . . . I get timeouts from the Adaptec's SCSI adapters BIOS routine where it polls it's devices. Then it appears to boot until I get: cramfs: wrong magic attempt to access beyond end of device 08:01: rw=0, wnat=2, limit=1 EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock attempt to access beyond end of device 08:01: rw=0, wnat=2, limit=1 EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 No, I don't have backups(2), but there's only one partition that has any data I need, and I don't think it's on the bad disk. The / and /boot partitions are on one disk, and /home is on another. /home I need. So I don't mind rebuilding from scratch if I have to. Apt-get install is fun But is there a way (rescue floppy (I have a set) or the CD) to mount and fsck the / and /boot partitions? I could also use a look at /etc/fstab just to refresh my memory (there were 8 partitions on that disk) of what went where. TIA madmac (1) - yes, it actually did say Gack. Out loud. No, it wasn't my imagination . . . . I don't konw how. Yes I know a cpu doesn't have a mouth . . . . (2) I know - shame on me for not backing up, but I'm unemployed, and I didn't have anything handy to install, and someone gave me 6 DAT drives of questionable status, and I had only tested 3, and none worked . . . . . . . . I was being cheap, and now I will pay with my time __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
