hi all, i'm not able to boot into my linux box after a bad shutdown. On booting, I get dropped into a root shell and the following errors are reported: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting default font (latercyrheb-sun16): Cannot open font file latercyrheb-sun16. /etc/rc.sysinit : line 70 : 32 Aborted (and some more errors regarding rc.sysinit) LC_ALL=C grep -q "Red Hat" /etc/redhat-release Mouting proc filesystem [FAILED] Configuring kernel parameters [FAILED] Setting clock (localtime) [FAILED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the shell I tried e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda9 and I got the error: bad magic number in superblock. I mounted the partition in Knoppix and did an e2fsck. An error occured saying that / was not unmounted cleanly. Free blocks, inodes and directory count for many groups was wrong, and selected the option (y) to fix them. I rebooted and tried do the same using other backup superblocks, but it was of no use. And one more thing, I found that ls and ps commands were not working on the corrupted filesystems. On doing an ldd some .so files were found to be missing. These commands did not work even after copying the /lib and /bin from another pc. I have attached output of the commands that I tried. It would be very nice if I could avoid reinstalling the system :-) Thanks in advance. prashant --
