Hi, my friends suffered a power failure at their farm while their computer was running opensuse 11.4. When the power came back on, opensuse won't boot back up.
When they try to boot the computer, they get to a screen that says
FAILED:module ata_piix not found
I tried putting the computer in text mode (level 3) to see if I could do a zypper up or zypper dup in the hopes that that would repair the problem. But it didn't work, what came up was a notice in red that says something like REPAIR FILE SYSTEM.
Can someone on the list help me to correct this problem?
Thanks.
What happens if you boot from a rescue disc and run fsck?
I tried to have them boot to runlevel 3 and from command prompt run fsck -p, and then fsck -y to see if I could correct the problem. But it didn't work. They can't find the install disk that I left at their house, so I can't get them to use repair disk. I am away on a business trip and won't get home for another week. I have been trying to help them by phone. So unless someone has a better idea, I will have to wait till I get home and can bring the install disk with me to their house to try fsck with the disk in the cd drive.
