Have you changed > anything ? Recompiled the kernel etc ? Yes this is the complete dump of error messages.I would like to mention one major change i have done with the system: At the time of installation the hard disk was in machine A.and after that i needed machine A ,so i just placed the entire hard disk in a machine say machine B with totally different hardware configuration. To my dismay,when i booted i did not get a single error regarding hardware change and linux autoconfigured everything.This worked for a weeek and then suddenly i got this error. > > > I have already run fsck on all partitions and all partitions are ok > > now.but still i can't boot. > > How did you run fsck if the system doesn't boot ? > I placed the hard disk of that machine to another linux machine as secondary drive and then did run fsck. It was detected as /dev/hdb. so i gave following fsck command for partition /dev/hdb5: #e2fsck -v -f -c /dev/hdb5 likewise for other partitions i followed the same procedure. Right now,as per the result of e2fsck all my partitions are clean and there are no bad blocks. > > Does any one have any idea about this specific mount error number 6. > > man mount suggests that 6 is the combination of error codes 2 & 4 : > > 2 system error (out of memory, cannot fork, no more loop devices) > 4 internal mount bug or missing nfs support in mount > > --Swapnil > Thanks in advance, Pavan Shah. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
