Hello,
Basically our suse is not booting anymore with a kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
It is suse 9.0 with 2.4 kernel the disk partitions hda1 5GB / reiserfs hda2 250MB swap hda3 1GB windows partition
This is the complete error:
hda:dma_intr:status = 0x51{DriveReady SeekComplete Error} hda:dma_intr:status = 0x40{Uncorrectable Error} LBAsect=7002,sector=6928 end_request:I/O error,dev 03:01(hda),sector 6928 journal-1212:REPLAY FAILURE fsck required! buffer write failure replay failure, unable to mount sh-2022:reiserfs_read_super:unable to initialize journal space kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
I have tried reiserfsck with all options that make sense: --fix_fixable --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition Every time is boils down to I/O error on block 806
I have also tried to mount it read only and with force but it doesn't work.
