Hi all!! My SuSE 10.0 suddenly crashed. I have a dual booting machine and it gives me an "Error 16" when trying to load Grub. I booted from SuSE Linux CD and choosed "Resque System". Than I checked my partitions with command "cfdisk" so I noticed that my windows is on hda1 and hda5, and I have hda6 for Linux and hda7 for Linux Swap. When I mount for example "mount /dev/hda1 somefolder" or "mount /dev/hda5 somefolder" it goes well, but when I mount "mount /dev/hda6 somefolder" it says : "Mount: Operation Not Supported" Have anybody got some ideas? P.S. I installed Linux from DVD , but booted the resque from the 5CD versions CD1, maybe the problem is in that? Though I doubt it Thanks in advance

have some info and it's all bad. This is from the grub manual you didn't read (but might not have been able to): 16 : Inconsistent filesystem structure This error is returned by the filesystem code to denote an internal error caused by the sanity checks of the filesystem structure on disk not matching what it expects. This is usually caused by a corrupt filesystem or bugs in the code handling it in GRUB. This is pretty consistent with your failure to mount the partition.
From your rescue CD, you could try a filesystem check.
For ext2/ext3 I suggest e2fsck -a -n /dev/hda6 to see what happens. The "-n" answers "no" to all questions: it does a check without writing results to the disk.

I would doubt it also...... Here's what to try first.... 1) Boot the rescue system (from the DVD if it has one) 2) If you are sure that hda6 is your linux root and you can't mount it, then it might be totally damaged. But before deciding that I would mount all of your partitions on /mnt and look at them and make a list of what partitions contain what. 3) If you can't mount or find your root partition '/' then you may be out of luck. 4) Assuming you *can* mount the root partition, then here's what to do: mount /dev/hda? /mnt (mount the root partition) chroot /mnt You now have your root as your main parition. mount /dev/hda? /boot (mount your boot partition) grub < /etc/grub.conf (reinstall grub) Assuming no errors, you should be able to boot again... but *something* caused this problem and you may have other errors or it may happen again. You need to think if you made any changes to your machine config that would have caused this.
