Hello List,
Several days ago I asked Upgrade manager to install all available
upgrades for my Kubuntu Desktop.
(regular instalation, stock kernel 2.6.22-14-generic)
disk partitions:
1 /boot
2 swap
3 /
4 Extended
5 /home
It had finished successfully and required the reboot.
After reboot I got blank screen filled with "7777" and so I used the SCD
rescue to reinstall grub.
Several strange things happened :
1. fsck on / runs only e2fsk although I know my / is ext3
2. when boot from Hard Disk, grub does not see /boot/vmlinuz (my boot
partition is on thirst slice of HD),
but it sees it as /vmlinuz
The same with initrd
3. When grub finally boot the system
fsck error on / and was thrown into maintanence shell:
fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
fsck.ext3: symbol lookup error: fsck.ext3: undefined symbol:
et_ext2_error_table
fsck.ext3: symbol lookup error: fsck.ext3: undefined symbol:
et_ext2_error_table
fsck died with exit status 127
Since / is mounted read-only I tried to boot from SCD and fix
filesystem but SCD thinks it is ext2 and OK
4 . Although I did not fix a thing ( except changing /boot/vmlinuz to
/vmlinuz in grub menu and canceling fsck check in fstab)
my system continue boot after exiting from maintanence shell
5 . The system does not see / (/dev/sda3) as mounted anymore
What goes wrong ?, why SCD rescue and Ubuntu disagree on / filesystem
type and state ?
Regards,
Lev
