 Posted: Sun May 05, 2002 8:13 am Post subject: errors during boot process |
 |
|
Nothing seems borken here, I just don't like seeing error messages  . I see the following during the boot process:
fsck.xfs not found
error 2 while executing for /dev/hda4
Later...
Mounting local fs
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module nls_cp437
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module nls_iso8859-1
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module nls_iso8859-1
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module nls_iso8859-1
RE: fsck.xfs... my /etc/fstab is set for xfs. However, I'm pretty sure I set it up as either ext3 or ext2 during install.
/boot is set for ext3, and I thought I set it for ext2. Is there a way to find out what fs it really is? |

Hmmm... Weird.
AFAIK, nothing should modify your fstab for you (or at least, not without asking you).
I'm sure there's a really simple command to check what fs a device is, but... I don't know it.
The complicated way is to use parted... get it to display the partition table of your drive, and it lists the fs types. |

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought anything would have changed it either... maybe I was dislexic when I set it up .
In any case, I emerged parted and it indicated /boot and / were ext3, so I changed the fstab. When I rebooted,
I saw a message that said /dev/hda4 ( / ) hadn't been checked in 53 mounts, check forced. 53 could very well
have been since install, not sure. Got that out of the way, thanks. I was mainly concerned that if I changed fstab
to the wrong fstype, it wouldn't boot.
Thanks for the tip.
Anyone have any ideas on the modprobe errors? |

I get the modprobe errors when I mount a fat32 partition, I think it's because I didn't specify the partition type in fstab, so it's trying a few different ones before figuring out what it is.
Check if any entries in fstab don't have a partition type. |

I know this one:
| Quote: | modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module nls_cp437
modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module nls_iso8859-1 |
Compile these nls_iso8859-1 and cp437 iso values in the kernel and these errors will be gone. So not as modules.

I wonder if it has to do with this line mounting my fat32 shared drive:
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/shared vfat noatime 0 0

Will give that a shot.

That did the trick. I didn't have them as modules either. Found it under File System -> Native Language Support if anyone else has this problem.
Thanks for the help. |
