I am new to Linux, previous to this I have always
used Mircosoft Windows OS.
I have installed RedHat Linux ver. 7.3 with the
kernal ver. 52.4.18-5 on an older computer I have. Its a 233MMX with
65mb of ram.
The install went well, and I had no errors
reported. The first I reboot the system I recieve an
error.
/ contains a file system with errors, check
forced.
Error reading block 1739350 (Attempt to read
block from filesystem resulted in short read).
/: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck
MANUALLY.
(ie., without -a or -p
options)
[FAILED]
*** An error occurred during the file system
check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will
reboot
*** when you leave the shell
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):

I have reinstalled Linux three times on this
system becuase I get the exact same error when I reboot for the first
time. I am using the correct shutdown procedure.
I have no knowledge of how the Linux OS and
kernal work, so I am at a total loss.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
