Hello, I installed a SATA DVD drive (Plextor PX-880SA) on my dual-boot system (Windows XP Pro and Debian Lenny). When I boot Linux, fsck fails. Here is the relevant portion of the log file:
Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: Checking file systems...fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1 Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: /dev/sdb1: Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: /dev/mapper/galan-home: clean, 242236/9166848 files, 16838862/36637696 blocks Thu Jan 7 16:39:14 2010: fsck died with exit status 8 I can control-D and the system boots normally (but with no DVD drive). Would appreciate help in getting Debian to recognize my DVD drive. Thanks! Carlos
