David,
The last messages I get before it drops me to the bash shell are:
/dev/hda1 contains a file sustem with errors, check forced
/dev/hda1 unattached inode 120370
/dev/hda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; Run fsck MANUALLY
(ie, without -a or -p options)
**An error occured during the file system check.
**Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
** when you leave the shell
Give root password for maintence:
(Or type control-d for normal startup)
I tried running fsck, but it tells me
parallelizing fsck version 1.12
Any thoughts? I'm not sure if the shell thinks I'm a su root, or
not though...And apparently not since I can't touch the file :)
Thnx,
April

You are probably getting dumped out before it re-mounts the root
partition with read-write permissions. As root you will normally
always be able to edit a file despite the permissions.
Simplest way to fix it is to boot off the floppy (or cdrom) into
rescue mode and then mount your filesystem. This way you can
change anything you need to boot back up.
But, It doesn't sound like it is even getting to rc.local before it
stops booting. Try to see the last message that prints before it
gives you a shell prompt and see if it isn't something you changed.
