Try booting from the DVD/CD and see if you can mount the filesystem. Also, I've had my laptop do strange things. Depending on the phase of the moon, my CD/DVD comes up as some corruption of Toshiba most of the time, but occasionally it gets it right. On 3 Jun 2002 at 15:09, Sean McGrath wrote:
Anyone know what causes this failure? I had shut down my linux box properly (formatted with ReiserFS) and 8.0 pro, turned my computer on today to a kernel panic - couldn't mount FS.
Doh.
Apparently my drive is munged ... It had been working perfectly. I am unsure if it's a hardware failure or a software one (I eventually bailed on trying to salvage the drive, rebooted into XP Pro and formatted the drive). No errors found.
I have a SuperMicro P4DC6+ with duel Prestonia Xeon 2.2ghz, 1 gig of RAM. The drive was just a little 20 gig EIDE I had used to test out Suse 8.0 pro.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Sean
