Hi Paul, > editing /etc/defaults/rcS > FSCKFIX=yes Thanks. Actually I did that last week, after some kind person in the list gave this as an answer to another question of mine.
Well, I dared to do it....and....was lucky! The system is up and running again. And I don't see any dubious messages in the log files anymore. But I can't tell whether fsck was called during bootup. There are no hints at all in /var/log/messages about this. Is there any other way to tell? Thanks again to all of you, Andy. -- Andy Spiegl, University of Technology, Muenchen, Germany E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.spiegl.de Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my PGP key o _ _ _ --------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) ------- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ ------ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linux vs. Windows is a no-Win situation
