| |
Hello everybody,
My problem is this: I totally ran out of harddisk, but I only noticed some programs not working properly. So I rebooted my system, but it didn't come up again. After going trough the kernel I got a message Root Filesystem (ext2) mounted readonly. Then I hear harddisk-noises for about half a second and then my system stopped completely. When I booted from floppy (slackware rescuedisk) I was able to mount my harddisk, delete some files, but nothing helped. I checked if the neccesary boot-files (/sbin/init, various /etc/ files etc.) were present and not corrupted, but nothing helped. So now I can't boot my system anymore, but I do can access my harddisk when I boot from floppy.
Any suggestions?
Ivo
P.S. Maybe this is not the right newsgroup, but the people who read this do have a lot of knowledge about linux....
