Above info in from my recollection. How to check them? Unable to run "fdisk -l" without bootup PC
Looks like a hardware problem. Try booting from the installation media in rescue mode or from a Knoppix cd. From there it is possible to do an "fdisk -l". Before fsck'ing I would test the hardware: If the drive has SMART, see what smartctl -a /dev/hda tells you. Run a test on the drive with: smartctl -t long /dev/hda and after the test has finished, see what smartctl -a /dev/hda gives of information. Check cables, etc. Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, Carlsberg A/S, Computer Department Gamle Carlsberg Vej 10, DK-2500 Valby, Denmark Phone: +45 33 27 53 25, Fax: +45 33 27 47 08 Email: mk@xxxxxx Homepage: http://www.crc.dk
