It stalls out just before. Because of this, I'm now thinking there may be a problem with my boot partition. I rebooted using the rescue disk, and did a df -k to get information on my filesystems. A shorthand version of the output was: Filesystem Mounted on /dev /dev /dev/loop0 /mnt/runtime /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-logVol00 /mnt/sysimage /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage/boot /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev from this /dev/sda1 appears to be my boot filesystem. I'm thinking, performing a fsck on the boot partition, may help me find out what the problem is. However, when I run the following command: fsck -n /dev/sda1 I get these warnings: WARNING! /dev/sda1 is mounted WARNING: couldn't open /etc/fstab What is the correct way to check my boot partition and possibly correct it?
