Did you let fsck complete its check? Sometimes, it takes a while. Depends on how big your partitions are. I'm guessing you stopped it thinking the boot had frozen. Do the check manually. Use the -V (verbose) option, so you can see what's happening. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
