Hi all,
I have been using FC6 for almost 6 months without any problems till
today. I upgraded several available packages through package manager
alert and upon reboot I could not get the system up and running again.
it gave me an error regarding file systems like -
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
...
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
It sounds like something you downloaded messed up the file system.
Did you try using Control-D and what happened?
If you can remember what you downloaded it might help.
The rescue disk lets you mount your system to the small system on
the CD. Then you can go to your system and change things. I just looked
at my fstab and I may have a problem too :-) The swap files look wierd.
There are some applications you can run that clean up a file system.
Been a few years since I had to do that. It is like e2fstak or something
like that and it will be on the rescue disk
