Hi, this is excactly the same Problem I had. I had to disable the remount entry in /etc/boot.rootfsck to get the System booting again. Of course nothing wanted to work without write support to the system. But at least I got it up again an could solve the problem after a while. Anyhow.. as soon as I made a mount -n -o remount,rw / the HDD Led was constantly on and the system hanged. Sorry for my angry post yesterday.. I had a long day and came home just to see that my server is broken and I had to spend 3 hours in the cellar to get it working again. A bit frustrating ;o). So anyhow here are some data of my system: PII 266 Mhz Ausu Board (Don't know the Model right now) 128MB Ram 2,5GB HDD (So I can accknowleage the guessing of John with old HDD's) () Voodoo III Graphic Card 2 Networkcards -> One internal one to the DSL Modem My Partitions on the HDD are: 25MB ext3 /boot 512MB swap Swapspace 1,9GB ext3 / Kernelversion was the newest Kernel from YOU.

Hi,
I have a similar problem on one of my machines running SuSE Linux 9.1. The boot process hangs right after fsck has completed and reported all 4 drives as clean. The machine is not completely locked up, the terminal scrolls down when I press Return, it just doesn't continue to boot. Booting in failsafe mode leads to the same result.
I have updated another SuSE 9.1 machine which boots up fine. Besides both machines are running 9.1 they are somewhat different, though.
Working Machine: P4 3200 with 875P Chipset 1 GB RAM 3ware IDE-RAID controller with 4 drives attached Hardware RAID 10 reiserfs
Machine which fails to boot: Athlon 3200 XP with nForce2 Chipset 1 GB RAM 2 IDE drives attached to the mainboard controllers 2 IDE drives attached to a Promise Ultra100TX2 PCI controller Boot device on the Promise controller no RAID all partitions ext3
Best regards, Stefan
