Hi all,
I have been using FC6 for almost 6 months without any problems till today. I upgraded several available packages through package manager alert and upon reboot I could not get the system up and running again.
it gave me an error regarding file systems like -
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
...
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
I tried doing fsck -A -y and tried rebooting it but it still ends up with the same error again and again.
I have FC6 rescue disk but I really dont understand how to use it.
after googling I figured out that once the filesystem is mounted at /mnt/syslinux, I should modify the /etc/fstab file entries.
I really dont understand what to modify, /etc/fstab looks like -
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this all is really gibberish for a newbie like me. please help me to recover the system as I have much of important data on the drive.
I have one 80 GB harddrive with no partition on it. there is no dual boot or anything else and it just has FC6.
it looks like its a fairly common problem and please please help me to recover from this..
anticipating ur help,
thanks
