It took some research to get Knoppix going (I had to pass some kernel arguments that it wouldn't freak out with an old monitor) but it saved the day. Which is interesting, I had an older version of Knoppix that wouldn't allow me to su root (which was necessary for fsck.ext3), but 3.2 didn't have a problem with it.
Fsck.ext3 worked like a charm, thanks for the help!

If it hangs, reboot and try mounting the filesystem without checking it. If you can mount and then unmount it, and if there don't seem to be any problems with the filesystem, then the FS will probably be marked clean. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
