Ok this is a great suggestion , but I need further assistance on this one (what else is new) I have no floppy I have an internal cdrom drive and mount presently on hda11 where the broken root and file system reside. My swap is at hda12. I don't really remember which drive partitions are the hfs - I think that they are probably hda5 and 6 or 6 and 7, with deb partitioning soft on hda8. I tried mount /dev/hda11/ /floppy but get mount: mounting /dev/hda11/ on /floppy failed no such directory error. Thx in advance for any help out there.

The mount program in the debian installer image will automatically do a repair during the mount that will fix your partition. I had the problem of it either hanging or powering-off during startup recovery too. I have found that the only work-around is to boot from the installer and run mount. --Guy -----Original Message----- From: nub...@li...

This install finally broke after having been shgutdown one too many times. Now what I get is the boot screen stuck at ext3-fs: INFO recovery required on readonly filesystem. by the way, I had installed the battery manager from debian for gmome and x , perhaps if I hadn't done this the pmu would not have acted up. I'll download the miboot.image to my work computer and home computer in the next day - so that if you need to erase it from the server , you may. and ext3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery... and ther it hangs. So I am in the market for a larger hard drive and I will probably wiat till I get it till I install again - which I hope is very soon. No, no I didn't mean to imply that there was anything funny about German except perhaps my very poor attempts at schiebing it or spraching it.

The PMU is also the part that is responsible for battery charging. It is always working when any power supply is available. And it is indeed totally independant of any OS. The PMU controls the power to all other devices in the PowerBooks and will turn the system power off if the OS doesn't respond and react the way it expects it to do. I'm currently using a kernel with a PMU driver that I patched in order to prevent these power offs. I have had none so far in one week. I did not use it that often but quite a few hours. You can download the miboot kernel image from my webspace: http://home.vrweb.de/internetzel/miboot.image Please report the results. Tobias P.S.: You're right, I'm German. Is German funny? >new kernel, new error, my pb1400 keeps turning off in the middle off usage , >I could be using it 5 minutes or 5 hrs in gnome with the 2.4.30 gcc kernel\ > >Vito > >----- Original Message ---- >From: Florian Boelstler <eup...@ar...> >To: nub...@li... >Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 11:51:42 PM >Subject: Re: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: Kernel 2.4.30 + MediaBay hotplug patches > >Hi Vito, > >Vito wrote: > > >>Thanks for the info and warning.
