merci,
however, this question i do not receive.
i simply receive:
(repair filesystem) # 'blink'
stupid ekaterina once tried 'y' and 'yes' to this but the result was:
y y y y y y ....forever.....
please let me add:
i believe i was choosing dev/sdc6 originally when attempting to boot to linux. [this is what i remember as habit - but, i now beginning to wonder]
lately, when using dev/sdc6 i get 'reboot in 180 seconds' msg
linux will only initialize when i choose dev/sdb6
i do not recall having ever used sdb6. however, this i use and i get linux to initialize but with fsck failure.
also, i get read only - msg to mount remount to read-write.
so, under sdb6 i first:
mount -n -o remount,rw /
then, i:
fsck /dev/sdb6
and i receive the following:
parallelizing fsck version 1.19a (13-Jul-2000) e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/sdb6 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes pass 2: Checking directory structure pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts PAss 5: Checking group summary information /dev/sdb6: 81126/234240 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 269842/467712 blocks (repair filesystem) # 'blink'
so, i reboot cntrl-D
but same problem persists.
i did attempt to try fsck /dev/sdc6 [because this is what i believed was my

but i receive :
WARNING!!!! running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVER filesystem damage.
so i choose 'no' continue
at times i also receive message:
the superblock could not be used or does not read or does not descibe a
correct ext2
filesystem. perhaps superblock is corrupt. etc.....
ultimately, i can always INIT with /dev/sdb6 only but i can never get past:
(repair filesystem) # 'blink'
i aprreciate all who help me as i still quite new to this linux but i so desperately want to learn.
Try running pdisk -l to get your partition info then boot into sdb6 (as you did before, with doing the fsck) the remount as rw then edit /etc/fstab and replace the old sdc with sdb entries. -- Rolf Schmidt The light at the end of the tunnel might be an oncoming dragon
