Instructions for Fixing a Linux System that won't boot right
- If, during boot up, your system says "File system was not un/mounted
properly, running fsck to fix errors" MOST of the time, it will fix
them
just fine.
- If it fails, you will see a message saying that either the root
filesystem "/" or /home failed to be fixed, and either
enter the root password to fix or ctrl-D to continue.
- Enter the root password to continue.
- If the root filesystem failed, type fsck /dev/hdd1 on the
command
line, then say "y" to everything it asks.
- if the /home or other filesystems died, type fsck
/dev/hdd# on
the
command line, (Where # is the number of the partition it was written
on) then say "y" to everything it asks
- When done, hit ctrl-D to reboot the system
