I do "fsck /dev/hda2". There is a print out of the man page of fsck in the SuSE handbook. You can read that. I hope that helps.

i have had this problem as well with my 6.5Gb seagate disk, fsck would NOT cure it my bios said the disk had 784 cylinders omewhere around cylinder 781 the heads _mechanically_ hit the endstop! - loud knocking sounds ! i set the end of my last partition to 780 and problem went away - note to the SuSE people : i think this shows up a SERIOUS bug in the disk formatting part of the installation program. i noticed the same message on one of the status screens on about my 5th install (this is my 'toy' system) (i think screen was on F12 key ?? - running from memory here) yet even with options set to 'CHECK' format did not report any errors. i think it should have come up with a big warning message, and stop installation, not have asked which packages i wanted to install .... best regards morgad (originally sent 25apr98, re-sent 4may98 - think my outgoing email has been hosed for 2 weeks! - fadi, did you get any email from me ??) -- this mind intentionally blank pgp key available on keyservers 1024/AB181ED9 58 12 68 68 47 87 16 81 47 93 F6 75 31 61 C8 26 -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
