Is it ext2? Bad corruptions on reiserfs give somewhat similar errors but with a different message.

How can I "debug" it? What can cause that? Distro-dependent. On RH it is rc.sysinit . Other distros have a whole directory of rcS.d . There should be two places where such fsck-s and mounts occour: first for / and later for the other filesystems. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
