 Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2005 1:30 pm Post subject: On-Boot Filesystem Error |
 |
|
Ever since I installed Gentoo I've been getting the following error after I select my kernel version and after a few things are loaded:
| Quote: | fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/BOOT
/dev/BOOT/:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the filesystem is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
* Fsck could not correct all errors, manual repair needed [ !! ]
|
After it prints that message it asks me to enter my root password to enter maintenance mode.
Anyone know what could be the problem? I have no idea what a superblock is, so I don't want to mess around with this. The following is a printout of my partition table:
| Quote: | Disk /dev/hda: 203.9 GB, 203928109056 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24792 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 16 125000+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda2 16 141 1000000+ 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda3 141 24793 198023511+ 83 Linux

your /etc/fstab is bad. edit it and replace /dev/BOOT with your boot partition. you should also look to other entries in your fstab, which may be incorrect too.
