hi,
this is a fairly old Mandriva 2008 install. It was working
ok. I needed to
copy some files from an old hard disk that was not booting.
Put it in as a
slave and copied. No problem. after some time, when booting
my machine (after
slave was removed, it said fsck.ext3 error and dropped me
to shell. As usual,
I entered the root passward and started running fsck
manually - it was
/dev/hd5. Answered yes to all 'fix?' questions and it said
disk was clean. To
be sure, I repeated the process - again said disk is clean
and asked to
reboot. I rebooted and the same error crops up. On manual
fsck, same errors
are shown, fixed, disk clean message appears, but no reboot
- same problem. How
to solve this?
