One thing Carlos did not mention that I recall is this (from your journal extract): Mar 20 16:12:22 toshiba kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#5 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE Mar 20 16:12:22 toshiba kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#5 Sense Key : Medium Error [current] Mar 20 16:12:22 toshiba kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#5 Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed Mar 20 16:12:22 toshiba kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#5 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 08 00 Mar 20 16:12:22 toshiba kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2048 That is repeated in your later report of the smartctl output: Error 8904 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 27335 hours (1138 days + 23 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle. After command completion occurred, registers were: ER ST SC SN CL CH DH -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40 41 38 00 08 00 40 Error: UNC at LBA = 0x00000800 = 2048 There is an unrecoverable error at LBA 2048, which I believe puts it right in the middle of the MBR. That is likely the partition record for the partition in question; the system does not even seem to be able to find the partition. You need a new drive, without question. Once you have booted from the live disk, can you mount the partition in question? If so, you are lucky, and can just use dd to copy the entire drive onto a replacement; if not, you are going to have to use dd with an offset to copy just the partitions (not the MBR) onto the replacement drive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
