problems with root filesystem
During startup, while checking root filesystem, I'm getting the following message (if it matters, my distro is Mandrake 10.0)
fsck.ext2/: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), the the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> : Is a directory while trying to open / # e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdb5 e2fsck 1.34 (25-Jul-2003) /dev/hdb5 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information Free blocks count wrong for group #0 (24057, counted=0).

try these options
fsck -y /dev/hdax and fsck -f /dev/hdax replace x by ur partition no. regards |
No, it doesn't... :(

I can see my root filesystem! In shell, my startting directory is /root, when I see cd.. and ls, I see my whole / filesystem structure and after mount -n -o rw,remount /dev/hdb5 I am even able to startx! (I'm under it now) |
