Urgent Help Fail to boot
Hi folks,
RH9 === While I was reading emails after their download from ISP mail server the box rebooted automatically and failed to boot finally. Thereafter I could not boot the box again, it would boot automatically after login to repair. I booted the box with rescue disk and tried to repair it with 'fsck /dev/hde3' and then 'e2fsck /dev/hde3' (fs = ext3) but finally ended up at; Code: 0f 0b 7a 00 2a ef 25 c0 e9 1b fd ff ff 0f 0b 09 00 2a ef 25 Segmentation fault. Further 'e2fsck /dev/hde3' the result was the same. I could not proceed further. Kindly help. Thanks in advance. B.R. satimis ...moved to the Distributions - Red Hat forum |
Hi,
Problem solved I used the boot diskette booting RH9 box automatically. Then after 'fsck /dev/hdeX' all partitions the box revived. The remaining problem is 'thunderbird' can't start. It is 'thunderbird' causing the collapse of the box. I shall solve this problem separately. One thing I could not resolve; # fdisk -l Disk /dev/hde: 10.2 GB, 10245537792 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1245 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hde2 14 78 522112+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hde3 79 736 5285385 83 Linux /dev/hde4 737 1245 4088542+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hde5 737 1245 4088511 83 Linux According to my recollection I only created 4 partitions /boot /swap /root /home How can a 5th partition come? Can any folk shed me some light. Thanks B.R. satimis |
This is an extended partition with one logical partition.
