You have to get an uninterruptible power supply for your servers.

If you are using the Reiser file system for your system partition then consider using a more robust file system type such as ext2. The ext2 file system manages to survive power outages pretty well although it spends a lot of time doing fsck.

Boot the SuSE installation CD #1.

Select system repair.

That should load a kernel off of the CD and put you in a console session. Do an fsck of your system partition. Then reboot.

If that doesn't work then try these instructions that I just wrote in another post.

That will keep you busy for a while. Write back to let us know if the problem is solved.

If you decide to change the file system type for your system partition then you will have to create a new initrd. Changing the file system type and reconfiguring the initrd is a little bit of trouble but it may be worth it, especially if you don't get the uninterruptible power supply for each of your servers.

hello

thanks so much but every thing is going fine by just rebooting thr server more than one time:confused:
