Hello All,
Hardware: HP ML570 2G Ram Dual 2.8G procs Compaq 5300 Smart Array Controller
Software: Centos 4.1
I yum-med a server last week and rebooted it.
When it came up, it stopped. Looking at the console, I got:
---snip
Setting Hostname: OK Checking root filesystem: /dev/cciss/c0d0p10 is mounted, e2fsck cannot continue, aborting failed
*** an error occurred during the file system check *** Dropping you to a shell; The system will reboot *** when you leave the shell Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue)
---snip
So I did what any good sysadmin would do- I grabbed the boot disk and rebooted the box in rescue mode and ran e2fsck on the /root partition. No errors came up and rebooting the box resulted in the same error!
So I dug a little, and found that putting some comments in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit would circumvent *the error* and allow the box to boot.
Here are the lines - (around line 375)
if [ "${RHGB_STARTED}" != "0" -a -w /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console ]; then fsck -T -a $rootdev $fsckoptions > /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console else initlog -c "fsck -T -a $rootdev $fsckoptions" fi
Here are the grub.conf boot settings: title CentOS (2.6.9-22.ELsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-22.ELsmp.img
My question is:
WHAT IS THE ERROR?
TIA, Dave Augustus
