 Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:04 am Post subject: [SOLVED] strange: cannot mount /boot |
 |
|
i follow the setup in the installation manual
| Code: | Partition Filesystem Size Description
/dev/hda1 ext2 32M Boot partition
/dev/hda2 (swap) 512M Swap partition
/dev/hda3 reiserfs Rest of the disk Root partition |
but i used reiserfs for hda3 instead.
i used the grub bootloader and everything follows the manual also.
when i finished the installation, reboot, i see this:
| Code: | * Checking all filesystems ... [ ok ]
/dev/hda1: clean, 34/10040 files, 4063/40128 blocks
* Mount local filesystems ...
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, had superblock on /dev/hda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
* Some local filesystem failed to mount [ !! ] |
when i df -h, i see only /dev/hda3, udev & shm. Both hda1(boot) and hda2(swap) are missing.
i did not install syslog. When i dmesg | tail, also only see the information of hda3, no hda1 or hda2.
Then i try to mount it myself.
| Code: | # mount /dev/hda1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, had superblock on /dev/hda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so |
the same message appears.
It is very strange that the bootloader, kernel are all in /boot. It can boot smoothly but it says it cannot mount /boot!!
What is the problem? Will there be some bad sectors in my secondhand hard disk? How to check if there is some bad sectors?

My guess is a wrong configured /etc/fstab. Could you post that file please.
And it's normal, that swap is missing (at least in `df -h`). Try mount to see what is mounted.
cheers

Oops!! YOU GUYS ARE REAL GENIUS!!
i have also checked /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf before posting the question. But may be i was so tired after hours of work. i cannot spot the error. When i was posting the /etc/fstab here, i double checked and found i have missed the "s" in "defaults":
| Code: | | /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 |
Thanks very much!! |
