Well, i have been using linux for a long time. I used to reboot the computer to use a linux programm after a while reboot the computer again to use a windows programm and so on.... this is very annoying way of working. When i heard about coLinux i decided to install it no matter how difficult was the process. So i installed it and managed to edit the XML file to mount the linux partitions, then edit fstab in linux and installing the kernel modules. Anyway i started coLinux and it had a problem with fsck because it said that module major-block-3 is missing...... i have no idea what module is major-block-3 but anyway, init stopped there and asked for root password for manteneance. So i give it to her and i had a linux prompt, also i could manage to run programms like ls, cat, vim (in colors!! :) and others. Then i run fsck by hand... it said something about being dangerous to run fsck on mounted partitions, i payed no attention to it because i thougth that before writing any change fsck will ask for comfirmation anyway, inmmidiately after it, the kernel got crazy showing all kind of errors, i couldn´t do "cd" i couldn't do "ls", i couldn't do anything. I turned off coLinux and i couln't run it again because it failed to mount the ext3 partition on "/". I restarted the computer in linux and it couldn't init because of kernel panic mounting ext3. I guess i´m screwed, and my partition is broken. But i cannot believe fsck could do big changes in the partition in less than a second running, it probably changed only one bit from one to zero, but not messed the whole partition!!!, right? Anyway, i start asking here because i have no idea where to ask, do you have any ideas to fix this problem?? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Hello, Yes, fsck is also my problem in running SuSE 7.0 and SuSE 9.0. I do edit=20 the system runlevel scripts. My scripts detect a running coLinux=20 kernel and use an other fstab, based on other Mail in this list. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3D8865932 Thanks! Dwight Campbell :-) And second, I modify my runscripts that they shold not run fsck, if I=20 give command line "fastboot" in XML-Fild. And last: I say colinux kernel to mount root filesystem as Read Only. <!-- ext2 SuSE 9.0 Root hda6 --> <block_device index=3D"6" path=3D"\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5" alias=3D"= hda6"=20 enabled=3D"true" /> <bootparams>root=3D/dev/cobd6 ro</bootparams> SCRIPT, where fsck was call is "boot.localfs" in my SuSE 9.0: # do nothing, if coLinux running if uname -r | grep "co-" >/dev/null then echo " FSCK skip (colinux)" export fastboot=3Dtrue if [ ! -d /etc/co/run -o ! -f /etc/co/run/co.flag ]; then echo " ### SWITCH to colinux" mount -n -o remount,rw / rm /etc/co/run ln -s colinux /etc/co/run mount -n -o remount,ro / fi else if [ ! -d /etc/co/run -o ! -f /etc/co/run/real.flag ]; then echo " ### SWITCH to reallinux" mount -n -o remount,rw / rm /etc/co/run ln -s reallinux /etc/co/run mount -n -o remount,ro / fi fi ... if test ! -f /fastboot -a -z "$fastboot" ; then ... your fsck doing ... fi Henry Marcelo Taube wrote: > Well, i have been using linux for a long time.

Hello again! To repair your system: Run colinux with a small file based colinux image and mount your=20 demarged partion, or run fsck from this help system. http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/LinuxRescueDisks In Wiki I have also see some more Rescure colinux root images for varius=20 distribututions (google it!).

I messed up fstab once . Im a novice almost. I used knoppix - a debian live cd distro - then copyed that fstab to a windows partion . Then edit= ed it and then copyed it to the native debian linux using knoppix . fstab = has to have root permission so cp fstab as root or su in knoppix . I hope yo= u understand this . ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Marcelo Taube" <ta...@ho...> To: <col...@li...> Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 6:08 AM Subject: [coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!! > Well, i have been using linux for a long time.

I think Henry's idea with a small distro will work the same way as a live= cd distro . ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Marcelo Taube" <ta...@ho...> To: <col...@li...> Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 6:08 AM Subject: [coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!! > Well, i have been using linux for a long time.
