You might need to e2fsck your drive. You can grab a livecd and do that, just make sure your system is not mounted, otherwise you can cause some SERIOUS damage (I know, I've made this mistake :). There's a command to run e2fsck/fsck on reboot, but I seem to have forgotten it. For now though, You can just reboot on the live cd, run `e2fsck /dev/hda1` or whatever drive is giving you issues, then see if that solves the problem. If not, provide more details on the issue. I have done that and my fs shows no error. What more info do you need? try this ... boot up, close all your gui stuff (X/KDE/GNOME/etc...), log into the console, `umount -a`, make sure pretty much nothing really exists in the output of `mount` and then run `reboot` could be a weird combination in shutting down unmount -a gives me this: umount: /proc/bus/usb: device is busy umount: /dev: device is busy umount: /initrd: device is busy umount: /: device is busy and mount afterwards gives me this: /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,commit=0) /dev/root.old on /initrd type ext2 (rw) /proc on /initrd/proc type proc (rw,nodiratime) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev type ramfs (rw) none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) USB is for, eeh USB :) initrd I need because I have a sucky ACPI implementation on my laptop. right, well did the reboot work that time or did it still cause the same problems ? Oh, sorry. No it didn't work. Same error and the msg telling me to enter the root pwd. When I write that root passwd (after the error msg when doing a shutdown) and then do a cat /proc/mount I get this: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root.old /initrd ext2 ro 0 0 /proc /initrd/proc proc ro,nodiratime 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 ro,noatime 0 0 none /proc proc ro,nodiratime 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /dev ramfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 can you see if baselayout-1.11.7-r2 works ? Sorry, I switched to another distribution on my laptop (though not because of this fault). |
