Well, see subject line. ;) The current state of your system depends on how much it has been damaged and whether any of your attempts at repairing it may have increased the damage. Probably you have not mentioned all your attempts with fsck either. An unclean shutdown alone doesn't mess up the system that much. There must be more involved, such as killing the power connection while the harddisk is being written to heavily. I can't guess how many packages you would need to reinstall. But it would be possible from rescue mode and giving rpm a proper --root parameter. - -- Michael, who doesn't reply to top posts and complete quotes anymore. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/g9ii0iMVcrivHFQRAnYDAJ9GlqbNkRrYRsnPT0xKMNa92kORNwCggm5x bWvphdIYAIhZ5SgwTgjj5sY= =Q942 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
