Hello, all, I'm having unexplained problems booting my debian box. I shutdown linux yesterday morning and booted win 95 from /dev/hda1. When I tried to reboot linux (/dev/hda2) in the evening using lilo, I got nothing but the "starting linux" statement. I used the base rsc1440.bin disk (my boot floppy didn't work) to boot linux. I ran "e2fsck /dev/hda2". I got:
... e2fsck: Bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/hda2. The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem, then the superblock is corrupt and you might trying running e2fsck with an alternative superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> This last suggestion gives: Attempts to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda2... cfdisk tells me that this still is a legit filesystem/partition. My box is a pentium 150 pci with pnp bios, 2 gig HD and 32 MB memory. /dev/hda1 = msdos /dev/hda2 = ext2 /dev/hda3 = linux swap Advice, kind people?
