Re: Now what's going on and how do I fix it?

I think I know what I did...   I copied my old /etc directory over the
new one thereby
screwing up the mount tab and vfstab and any other files related to the
mount table

doh!!!

 Sounds like /dev/hda7 isn't set as type 82?  Can you get an output of
 what fdisk says (fdisk /dev/hda, p)?

Now what's going on and how do I fix it?

[Chris]

I just completely re-installed RH 7.3 and rebooted after updating all
the security fixes etc.. and then during the reboot, I get the following
messages

Activating swap partitions:  swapon: /dev/hda7: Invalid argument

[FAILED]

Checking filesystems
Couldn't find matching filesystem: LABEL=/boot1

[FAILED]

*** An error ocurred 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)



Ok, so if I type CTRL-D, the system reboots and gives the same message
again
However, if I try to login for system maintenance, and run fsck, I get
the following message:  ' No devices specified to be checked!'
So I specify /dev/hda and voila, I get  'Couldn't find matching
filesystem: LABEL=/boot1'

I look forward to some reasoned explanations

Thanks


Chris
