by I have been running Linux now for about a year, without any problems.
Today while in "X", I made a mistake and "shutdown", using the
following command_line, "shutdown -f now". I normally shutdown from
the console, NOT while in X. I do not know if this has caused the
problem.
Now when I try to boot Linux, it hangs half way through the boot
proccess. The last 2 lines that appear on the screen while booting
are:
First datazone:68 Root inode number 139264
ISO9660 Extensions:RRIP_1991A
Whether I boot from the Hard drive or from my Linux BOOT disk,
the proccess hangs at the same point.
My system profile is as follows:
Processor- 486 DX100
Memory- 24 megs
Distribution- Slackware 3.0
Kernel- 1.2.13
X- 3.1.2
S3 server- 3.1.2 E
I do not have a backup. Hopefully this can be fixed without loosing
everything.
Any help will be appreciated!
