Bad File Descriptor


I need serious help. Thanks in advance.

RHL 7.3 ext3; 1 SCSI HD (36GB) -- single boot server (DHCP, SAMBA, SQUID)

Getting filesystem errors on boot -- some scroll off screen to quickly to read.

I'm a technical person but not skilled at command line Linux.

Last errors - (typing in):

Activating swap partitions: dup2: Bad file descriptor [FAILED]
Setting hostname Leshkow2: dup2: Bad file descriptor [FAILED]
/etc/rc.sysinit: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
/etc/rc.sysinit: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
Mounting USB filesystem: dup2: Bad file descriptor [FAILED]
Initializing USB controller (usb-ohci): dup2: Bad file descriptor [FAILED]

grep: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
Checking root filesystem
dup2: Bad file descriptor
[FAILED]

Then it drops to shell prompt.

I ran fdisk, extended partition (/dev/sda4) had DOS file descriptor. Copied down partition table info, deleted partition, recreated with correct ID, recreated extended partitions (/dev/sda5-7) with info from table.

Ran e2fsck on each partition (no switches - Don't know which, if any to use) read in each journal - result clean. Except swap partition which e2fsck reports that it doesn't work on (now you know the limits of my knowledge)

Still same problem

Thanks once again
