Hello,
I installed 9.3 on an HP ZD7000 laptop about a week ago. (I previously had 9.2 on the laptop for about 2 months with no problems.) Apart from several annoying problems with Gnome, 9.3 seemed to be working fine. This morning I tried to reboot the laptop. But the laptop will not boot. It gets midway through the boot process and it shuts itself off. I've tried booting the laptop 5 times, but the same thing happened each time. Before the boot process stops, I notice messages indicating that the "filesystem is not clean".
How can I diagnose/correct this problem? Is there a way to determine if this if my system got corrupted or if this is a hardware failure? If the system is corrupted, can I fix it without re-installing?
Boot to the install DVD/CD and use rescue mode. Run fsck on the faulty filesystem. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
