Hi, today i got into that computer, before trying to get into adjusting things in the kernel in menu.lst file [which i never had an experience of, but nevertheless can manage, i guess], i decided to give it another try- perhaps the computer would Shutdown normally and the above mentioned problem was just a kind of a side effect from the fresh upgrade. unfortunately, it didn't Shutdown, but at least it wasn't a completely black screen the computer got stuck in. there were things written there which probably indicate were the problem is:
Code:
*asking all remaining processes to terminate...
*stopping the firestarter firewall...
*Deconfiguiring network interfacess...
*stopping the firestarter firewall...
*stopping the firestarter firewall...
*Deactivating swap...
[13442.450085]BufferI/O eror on device loop0 logical block 2005467
The above script is not literal [i wrote it on a piece of paper].
i tried to get back to GUI from that position but couldn't, i tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+f2/f3/f4/F5/f6f1, when i pressed Ctrl+Alt+f7 i got further scripts displayed, all mentioning as a theme this thing about
loop0. so this seems to be were the problem is:
loop0.
before going to adjust the
menu.lst file, perhaps this info here would make it unnecessary? and try other solution related to the above info [
loop0]
thanks for any help.
