Hello Friends!

I am currently running 4.2.3 and all is fine but I do get this error during Boot;

[ 12.229376] FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw)

Like I said all works fine and this does occur when I schedule a reboot and when I schedule a shut down and turn back on.

Any suggestions?

Hi:

Have you had any not so graceful shutdown's or power outages?

Is there a external device via usb plugged in?

Do Not Run fsck on a mounted fs: unmount it first

I totally forgot I posted this! TY for the response. When I get home I will look into those links. Thank you so much!
As far as Shutdowns go, or ungracefully... Not sure about Outage but I did do "ctrl-alt-del" and it did its little reboot thing.
No USB devices beside Mouse/KB

Your Welcome-

Did rebooting help?

Still not home to try... And what I meant was aside from possible outage i'd be unaware of, the only thing I have done was the ctrl-alt-delete reboot method, if that could have ruined it.

Running Ctrl+Alt+Del should not of ruined it:-

A vfat volume... sounds like windows. Are you dual-booting with windows? If windows crashes (oh, perish the thought, lol) it can sometimes fail to cleanly umount its own partition.

No Sir! My windows box is a completely different system.. For WoW only... This Linux box in mentioning is 1 hd broken into several partitions.

1 100 Meg EF00 EFI System
2 8 GiG 8200 SWAP
3 32 GiG 8300 Linux OS
4 900 GiG 8300 /home

This was me playing around learning how to partition etc so the sizes/types may be silly...But I left it as is.

I seem to be having some issues with this new install I am trying out. I get the same results on a DVD as I do a USB stick.... Both have been used for successful installs on other systems.

2.4 Ghz CPU
8Gig RAM
Set to Legacy mode in all settings possible in Bios
Bios : American Megatrends: A75MH : 2.11.1210

By default it notices, or suggests, that I am on an efi system. I go along and create this partition structure;
When I try "setup" it says I must create an efi partition... So this is what I set

1: 200 Meg EFI
2: 8 GiG SWAP
3: 60 GiG Core (/)
4: 400 Gig Home (/home)

I try Setup again and it lets me in fine... Does all the correct settings. When it gets to Boot Loader it recommends eLilo but will still do LILO. I've done both and set them both to MBR. It also does add /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat defaults 1 0 and states "efi system partition recognized" .
No matter what I do when I reboot I get a page full of 9's

If everything installs so agreeably then I am just not understand why... any suggestions?

Even though you don't have Windows installed was your pc a Windows machine at one point?

I think you need to install the distribution in uefi mode.

Did you go into the BIOS and disable the 'secure boot'?
If not that could be part of the problem.

What distribution did you install?

What is the output of:

If you are using legacy mode why are your partitioning for EFI?

I set the Bios to Legacy but Slack install constantly says "detects a efi system" and wants to install that way. I went and re-partitioned the disks as well.

Is Slack running w/o any issues?

Is LILO booting w/o fail?
