(8^0) I had this problem awhile back running up2date. It turned out something was amiss withe upgrades of the rpm packages (rpm*.rpm) that caused the problems. I never had to corrupted superblock or anything. What I did to fix it was I went to a mirror and downloaded a new up2date (that was part of the problem too, I think) and all of the other RPMs and manually updated them. After that everything worked OK. I remember (but not in detail) that a lot of others had a similar problem at the time. Someone figured out exactly what packages needed to be upgraded to fix the problem. In my usual brute force-manner, I just did the whole kit'n'kaboodle and got it over with. Two superblock problems have to be coincidence and caused by something else. It might be possible if trying to upgrade the kernel via the older up2date. But if the update situation isn't even completing, I don't see any way that could cause the problem. Sorry I didn't jump in sooner. I get so much mail that I skim a lot. Sometimes I skim right past something that I can answer and don't realize it until later. -- Linux: Because life is too short to spend the day rebooting. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
