Dear All,

from many days its working fine and I face no problem, today when I hard boot this machine( because shutdown command not worked) it give me this error on boot .

VFS: Mount root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Freeing unused kernel memory: 272k freed
INIT: version 2.85 booting
Setting default font (lat0-16): /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 87: 29 Segmentation fault grep -q '^LIBSAFE=yes$' /etc/sysconfig/system


At this point it stop.
PLEASSSSSSSSSS PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELP ME its too much important bcz my users data in this drive (smb map drive).

Thanks in advance.

Rizwan.

What form of shutdown command did you use, and what did it actually do?

Did you reboot the machine without unmounting the filesystem first? If so, then you almost certainly have a damaged filesystem. Has fsck been run?

The first thing to try is starting up in single-user mode by typing in the command-line option “s” at the boot prompt. e.g. Then run fsck on the disk.

I use this command for shutdown
shutdown -h -now
&
shutdown -r now
BUT both gave same answer

[zkmem](1.1)
idt=0x025c000, Can't find sys_call_table[ ]

beside login for single user mode, I want to clear this that when Mandrake 10 Boot and
Lilo initialize imidiately after this it give me options.
1. linux
2. linux-nonfb
3. linux-swap
4. old_linux_nonfb
5. fallsafe

any of these options I select it gives me same error. there is no option for type "linux s" command
HELP PLEASE.
I try fsck by booting system from cdrom after fsck error is same.

If you have the old-style lilo prompt (lilo then you can type “linux s”.

If you have a menu that you can navigate with the cursor keys, select “linux” and press the ‘s’ key before pressing Enter.
