 Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2003 1:25 am Post subject: After Installation I have file system error being reported |
 |
|
First time installing Gentoo, everything has run smoothly until now.
My system is as follows:
1 hard disk -
partition 1 - Primary - 30gb - NTFS - Windows XP
partition 2 - Primary - 100mb - ext2 - Linux - BOOT
partition 3 - Primary - 766mb - Linux - SWAP
partition 4 - Primary - 15gb - ReiserFS - ROOT
I installed the system fine, installing Grub into partition 2 then later realised partition 1 was set as BOOT, so changed BOOT to partition 2. Rebooted and got the GRUB menu, for some reason the settings had changed from hdc (in the grub.conf) too hde. So after a few reboots I finally managed to "a" in the grub menu and set the right "root=".
Linux now boots ok, however as the text flashes past I see a warning about a file system error, on I think my Boot partition (partition 2).
When I ....
I don't see any other directories or folders, with ls.
So I assume somehow changing the BOOT partition after installing Grub has killed my ext2 filesystem.
Any advice as to what steps I should now take to correct this problem?
Thanks for any help. |

By default in Gentoo the /boot partition is not mounted at boot, so try:
before looking inside /boot, and remember to do that when you cp a new bzImage!
