I did a clean install of RedHat 9 on a system. This system has only a SCSI
drive. I was able to reboot the system with no problem. I then applied some
updates and did some other stuff and when I tried to reboot the system the
boot process stopped when trying to run fsck on the root, and only
partition. The problem is that the partition is mounted read-write by the
time rc.sysinit is called so fsck gets an error that causes rc.sysinit to
call sulogin.
I did a goggle search and noticed one other person had a similar problem but
no one responded to his request for an explanation.
Here is the part of rc.sysinit that is causing the problem:
if [ -z "$fastboot" -a "X$ROOTFSTYPE" != "Xnfs" ]; then
STRING=$"Checking root filesystem"
echo $STRING
initlog -c "fsck -T -a $fsckoptions /"
rc=$?
Can someone tell me what might have caused this problem and/or what a
solution to the problem, other than not running the fsck, might be to fix
it?
TIA,
Jim Dickenson
