I got the bug in my Thunderbird email the other day. Today, I decided to un-install Thunderbird and re-install it using 'Yum Extender' Bad move. Yum Extender froze while doing this. After letting it sit for a half hour, I did a force quit on it. Afterwards I tried loading Synaptic to do the same thing. It would not start. I logged out as a user, intending to log back in as root. I got a small red screen approximate 800x600 pixels in size, and I get a message that it can not load my graphical desktop. I had the line commands only, and most of those are cut off by the outer blue screen. I rebooted. I got the message that my file system was corrupted and Selinux was preventing repairs. It stated that it had disabled selinux. It needed my root password. When I typed in the root password, I got this: :repairing volume 1: It is sitting there waiting for something, but I do not know what. If I simply type in "yes", I see a bunch of odd characters appear on that small red screen, then it goes blank. Nothing appears to be happening with my hard drive. I can really use some help to recover some files here.---- at the :repairing volume 1: prompt... e2fsck -fy /dev/hda1 substitute freely for hda1 for other partitions or logical devices Craig fsck reports too many bad blocks. It attempts to copy them, but I think that it is simply running out of room. I have an 18 GB partition for Win XP and a 10 GB partition for FC4. There was about 2 GB free the last time I looked at the FC4 partition. I have a 2nd older laptop computer running FC3 which has not been updated recently. It works fine. I don't think that I'll update it all. I'm going to give up on FC4. It simply has too many problems... -- Lloyd Hayes Email: lloyd545220-trucker@xxxxxxxxx URL: http://TalkingStaff.bravehost.com E-FAX Number: (208) 248-6590 Web Journal: http://lloyd_hayes.bravejournal.com/ |
