Maybe you have already your system running (normal boot and your system in /dev/hda). If so, try to boot from installation cd selecting 'linux rescue' on boot prompt and then e2fsck on your partition. If it gives the same warning, unmount your partition. If I'm not wrong it is mounted in /mnr/rootfs, so give 'umount /mnt/rootfs' and then your e2fsck Achille -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
