 Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 6:57 pm Post subject: File system boot errors.... |
 |
|
I just finished a install using reiserfs for my root partition and the ck-sources kernel. On reboot while its loading I get the following...
| Code: | *Mounting proc at /proc... [OK]
*Mounting sysfs at sys...
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~208: Read-only file system (use -n flag to overide) [!!!]
...blah blah...
Faild to open the device '/dev/ROOT/': No such file or directory
Warining...fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/ROOT exited with signal 6.
* Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( [!!!]
ctrl-d thing
|
I then can enter the root password to get a bash prompt or if I press ctrl-d it unmounts everthing and reboots. I'm assuming the second error is caused from the first. Why would it be read only? and where would I put this -n flag thing? |

Have you actually modified your /etc/fstab? It should have device names instead of /dev/BOOT etc... those are just there as placeholders...

LOL! Don't feel bad, made the same mistake getting me SATA drives to work. Changed the letters, but not the numbers. Sigh...
Hang in there.

| I did the same thing, is there a way to make the filesystem writable in diagnostic mode so I can update fstab? |

Just mount it as you normally would.... boot to the liveCD and use mount.
