I cannot enter into my Linux OS. Haaalp meee.
 
Uh. Nasty power outage, and the computer dropped while I was in Red Hat 7.1 Linux. I'm trying to get in, and it's giving me a message that I had an unclean shut down. It drops me to a shell after I give it my root password. Then what? I'm just staring at a blinking screen, taunting me. I can't bypass this, and I can't get into my OS. I can't do anything.

What do I have to do to let me back into the system? May you please tell me the exact lines of text I have to put in? Remember, when I say newbie, I mean newbie. I'm not going to understand any jargon you toss at me, due to the fact I don't have any linux-related information tossed at me on a regular basis.

most likely you need to check your filesystem with fsck.
depending on where your / drive is at and whatever other partitions you may have your system using.. it will be a something like this :

fsck /dev/hda1

check out this link for the man pages on fsck. http://linux.ctyme.com/man/man0594.htm

:D Just boot from a red hat 2.0 cd and upgrade to 2.0 it has ext3 file system it is journaling so fsck doesn't need to be used at all hopefully!!!

voodoochild7 02-15-2002 01:51 PM
Sorry 7.2 !! Need coffee!!!

voodoochild7 02-15-2002 01:54 PM
When you run the installer it will ask if you want to upgrade to 7.2 then ask if you want to change the file system to ext3. Just say yes and upgrade.

hey is there a command similar to mke2fs for creating ext3 file systems on new partitions?
