fsck finds no errors on /dev/sda6  (my / file system)

fsck found and fixed 2 errors in my /dev/sda7 (home) file system.


I=92ve run this on both several times today, and it finds them both =

It still will not boot. =20=



Have you tried commenting out all of the lines in the fstab that are not 
needed for booting.  You should verify that /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 are 
the actual partitions that you think they are.

All I have in /etc/fstab are for:

/
/home
swap
tempfs
sysfs
proc

Can I comment out those last three?

I am sure the /dev/sda6 and 7 partitions are / and /home.

 Well, that is not looking good.  Was that booted from the rescue cd?
 
 Sometimes when you boot from a different drive (such as CD) it can switch the 
 devices around.  Maybe they are on SDB?
 What does fdisk -l show?
 


Well, I don’t remember for sure how I booted to get into that, but I’m pretty 
sure I booted it from the hard drive.

I just rebooted it using the rescue disk, and “df -h” now shows:

fdisk -l

Gives too much to type and get back with you in a timely manner, but they are 
on /dev/sda, not /sdb.

If you’d like that output, though, I’ll be happy to post it for you.

I’ll start typing it now…

I just wanted to get back with you as quickly as I could.
