Ok, I have a severe problem with MDK 9.1, can't even boot anymore. Can anyone help?
Here is what happened: 1. In KDE I selected Removable Media/Zip to mount/open in Konq a zip disk 2. KDE panel lockup. This happened to me before, I guess because of problems with automount. Previously I 'fixed' it by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X and log in again (couldn't find anything better). Didn't work this time, got system lockup. 3. I did hard reboot. Selected "y" for System Integrity check. Problems were reported on /dev/hda6 (that's my / as I recalled later). System offered to fix problems (data may be lost), I said "n" hoping first to boot and save my today's work. It seems I should have said "y"! More messages about problems on /dev/hda6 with offers to fix. At this point I decided to reboot and answer "y" to 'fix problems?' question. 4. Hard reboot. Even worse now, got these messages right away: INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" INIT: entering runlevel: 5 INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc" INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes (Same message repeated for Id "2" - "6") INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel 5. Ok, tried to boot from my MDK 9.1 boot disk (made during the installation), got: SYSLINUX 1.67 Could not find kernel image: linux boot: What do I do now? 6. Tried booting from MDK 9.1 install CD and going into "rescue", but that stuff is just way over my head... --- Ok, it seems I made a bad decision when I said "n" to fixing / problems :-( Do I have any choices at this point (feasible for someone who is a day-to-day user but not an expert), short of reinstalling 9.1 (at least the /usr, so I don't lose /home, etc.)? Thank you! Sleep time now :-) Aleksey
