RE: [gentoo-user] Superblock error

[Colin Wildsmith]

Title: Hello all,

Ok ive found out how to modify the files eg   Insert livecd # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot   Then i went to the fstab file on the drive (not on the disk) and modified it; It reads   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/BOOT        /boot     ext2      noauto,noatime              1 2 /dev/ROOT        /           ext3      noatime                         0 1 /dev/swap          none     swap     sw                                0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0       mnt/cdrom         iso996               noauto,user       0 0 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   However, gentoo still does not boot? The error is;   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fsck.ext3: No sufh file or directory while trying to open /dev/ROOT /dev/ROOT:   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 (and not swap or anything else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck –b 8193 <device> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Ive tried “e2fsck –b 8193 /dev/hda1”   Which also failed, no such file!   Can somebody please help me???   Colin   From: Colin Wildsmith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 25 January 2006 7:32 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Superblock error   Hello all, I have just tried the Gentoo challenge (installing Gentooo from the minimal CD) and have failed. :-( I get an error stating that   “The superblock could not be read of does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem….”   Im almost sure that its an error in my fstab file? However I try and change it by mount /dev/hda1 nano /etc/fstab   I can see the file however I can not write to it.   How can I modify my files?   Colin
