 Posted: Tue May 31, 2005 2:09 pm Post subject: Gentoo Not Booting |
 |
|
Upon boot I get this message: | Code: | Failed to open the device '/dev/hda3': No such file or directory
Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( [ ! ! ]
Give the root password of maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup): |
I can't easlly connect to this box to get a keyboard attahed on boot time, so this is really a problem. I thought chaning checkroot and checkfs via rc-updated del checkfs checkroot would fix it, but its still happening. I jumped through some hoops to get the box booted, so here is my rc-status just incase I did something wrong: | Code: | Runlevel: boot

| boot from gentoo's livecd, from there you can check /dev/hda? with ckfs or even fdisk. |

Heres the "resiserfsck" that I ran on the partition: | Code: | reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)
*************************************************************
** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails **
** please email bug reports to reiserfs-list@namesys.com, **
** providing as much information as possible -- your **
** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck **
** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, **
** check the syslog file for any related information. **
** If you would like advice on using this program, support **
** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. **
*************************************************************
Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hda3
Will put log info to 'stdout'
Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

| Kinda obvious, but sometimes it happens... did you rebuild the kernel since last boot? If so, did you select reiserfs to be compiled into the kernel? This is, of course, only applicable if you have not mounted /lib/modules before getting the read error... |
