what filesystem does /etc/fstab show for "/", part5 ?
The / partition is not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
Impossible.
I think it doesn't solve the problem. Fstab is opened in a later stage of the bootprocess.
Not true. That file is parsed by the script doing the fsck to know what it has to fsck.
I lived since the 11.2 upgrade with no / line in fstab, I thought this was new in 11.2 no problems
I have never seen such a thing. Well... perhaps not.
For this debugging I put the following line in fstab
/dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults 1 1
Some more info from my bootconsole. 1 The startup process tries to resume from the swapfile, nothing in so continue 2 the bootprocess does a fsck.ext3 /dev/sda5 "fs clean" 3 the bootprocess does a mount, mount -o rw -t ext3 /dev/sda5 / this ends with the error "wrong fs" Then the startup ends.
The question is still the same, where in the startup is mount -t ext3 hard coded ?
As far as I know, it is not. Are you sure the /etc/fstab file is correct? Please paste it here, perhaps we can see something.
what gives "file -s /dev/sda5"?
I have seen a similar symptom in 11.2, when the fstab is not correct: initial mount (ro) works, but later there are problems when mounting rw, when fstab is actually read. In my case, it mounted.
It is a reported bug, that 11.2 can start with an incorrect fstab entry for /.
Here is the line "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD103SJ_S246JDWS911276-part5 / ext4 defaults 1 1 " But I think I have found the source of the error In the file:///boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop is hard coded the disk+partition+filesystem. Thus the question is now how to generate a new initrd But thats for tomorrow, thanks,Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
