Today I was unable to get my Suse 9.0 system to boot as each time I Ctrl-D'd it rebooted and told me to run fsck manually.
Of course: it will not boot till you run fsck manually, exactly as it says. If it is giving a prompt, it is expecting you to run fsck right then and there. When you correct the problem, then ^D will close and reboot - this time correctly, as you are supposed to have corrected the error :-p
I tried the rescue to no avail and even entered the command fsck -VAa / into the additional options with NO luck.
Not "/", but /dev/hdaX, where X is the number of the partition you have to check, and hda might be hdb, or whatever. You must know that yourself. Hold on a moment... Additional options? It is a command to be entered at a command line prompt. Where are you typing it?
How the hell do I get my system back by completing the fsck!!
Well... The man pages of e2fsck and resiserfsck are printed at the end of the SuSE admin book just for these ocassions.
