Re: Redhat 6.1 wouldn't boot complete

[Hong F Du]

I did what you said and also booted with init=/bin/csh too(booting with csh ables me to run e2fsck on /dev/hda10 before remounting /). Each time I issued the command to remount / into rw mode, the system just stopped there. So I think all my problems is in mounting the / into rw mode, but I don't know how to fix it. I need more help on this matter. Thank you. feng Mihai LEONTESCU wrote: > You'll have to try this manually > Restart your linux box and when lilo prompts type > linux root=/dev/hd10 init=/bin/sh > > after this you will get the prompt (you booted the single user mode) > now, you have to remount your root partition rw because it's readonly > you got to do like this > sync > umount -n / > mount / -o remount,rw > > now you have full access to your files, and you can edit them > > oh, do not mount proc before root :) and mount proc or else you'll have > some tiny problems :) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Mihai LEONTESCU > SC Deuroconsult SRL > Departamentul Internet > Misu(nix) web Page : http://misu.bv.ro > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > On Tue, 25 Jul 2000, Hong F Du wrote: > > > Hi All, > > > > When booting it went through the file system clean check for /dev/hd10 > > which is where my root / is.
