Hello all, i am facing a problem on my Red Hat Linux 6.2 machine. When i boot in my Linux box it boot properly till it reaches the stage where it says "Press I for interactive setup" >From there it starts giving me errors like this : - Mounting proc file system dup2 : Bad File Descriptor [FAILED] Configuring kernel parameters dup2 : Bad File Descriptor [FAILED] Loading default keymap/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit : /dev/null : read only file system Activating swap partition dup2 : Bad File Descriptor [FAILED] Seting hostname localhost.localdomain : Bad File Descriptor [FAILED] Checking root filesystem : Bad File Descriptor [FAILED] An error occured during file system check For maintance mode give password [ctrl-d for normal setup] when I give root password i can log in as single user and it gives this message the moment I log in: bash: /dev/null :Read only file system kcd : cannot create file /root/.kcd.newdir Broken pipe. When i press ctrl-D for normal login the machine reboots. I tried running fsck, e2fsck, checked for bad blocks and made force checking too. still the problem is not solved. This system was running perfectly for 6-7 months. Please help. thanks in advance and waiting for the reply. -- Best regards, shantanu mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
