Well,
I've run into a nice problem here.
I built 2.35 and installed it. I updated LILO (uh, oh).
Here's my fdisk table (255 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders)
Device
/dev/hda1 1 1 13 104878 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 14 14 525 (the rest) 83 Linux native
No DOS partitions on a Fujitsu 4.3 Gb IDE drive.
I built 2.35 and installed it, previously at 2.30. I updated LILO (uh,
oh).
When I rebooted the new kernel, The following information came up:
Partition check:

I then tried booting off hda1 (which is supposed to be my swap partition!)
for the hell of it and got this:

Tried to reboot with my boot disk, but I get the same messages. I can't
get to my hard drive now, and I got lotsa important stuff on there.
Suggestions on how to proceed? More info needed? I need to save the stuff
on the drive and I'll do whatever it takes to fix it, even if I have to
work with a binary/hex dump!
It seems that I need to understand the boot process better, though.
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or the list. Thanks.
