[coLinux-devel] apt-get dist-upgrade broke my Debian

[Marko B. <bo...@ks...>]

Heh. A big SNAFU here :)

Here's what I did: took the base Debian image, installed a few packages: less, 
vim, base-config, ssh.

Then I changed sources.list to fetch stuff from unstable distribution, and did 
apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade. I did its magic, and everything worked 
fine until I rebooted coLinux. On the next boot I got this:


Checking root file system...
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/cobd0: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 262144 blocks
The physical size of the device is 0 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!

/dev/cobd0: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
         (i.e., without -a or -p options)

fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. Please note
that the root file system is currently mounted read-only. To
remount it read-write:

# mount -n -o remount,rw /

CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and REBOOT the system.

Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):



I've tried messing around, but no luck. Fdisk reports invalid flag for 
/dev/cobd0, and partition table is empty. Remounting rw, rebooting and nothing 
changed.

Can anybody give me some pointers? This is beyond my abilities :)

TIA,

This is because the initscripts package got updated and
/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh also, just edit it and change the line with
"rootcheck=yes" to "rootcheck=no".

pardon my ignorance here, but isn't NOT checking root a little hackish
of a solution?  and also, isn't it a little not safe?  I have fsck working
on my gentoo images.

That is one fix.  Also, in the /etc/fstab the entry for the /dev/cobd0 was
something like:

/dev/cobd0 / ext2 defaults 0 1

Change the ext2 to ext3.

/dev/cobd0 / ext3 defaults 0 1

A few more things should work fine.
