Ok ive found out how to modify the files eg |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Insert livecd |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo |
| 8 |
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 9 |
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Then i went to the fstab file on the drive (not on the disk) and modified |
| 14 |
it; |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
It reads |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 21 |
----------- |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
/dev/ROOT / ext3 noatime 0 1 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
/dev/swap none swap sw 0 0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 mnt/cdrom iso996 noauto,user |
| 30 |
0 0 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |

| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
However, gentoo still does not boot? The error is; |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 42 |

| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Fsck.ext3: No sufh file or directory while trying to open /dev/ROOT |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
/dev/ROOT: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 |
| 51 |
filesystem. IF the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 |
| 52 |
filesystem (and not swap or anything else), then the superblock is corrupt, |
| 53 |
and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b |
| 54 |
8193 <device> |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 57 |
------------------------------- |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Ive tried "e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda1" |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Which also failed, no such file! |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Can somebody please help me??? |

Hello all, |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
I have just tried the Gentoo challenge (installing Gentooo from the minimal |
| 87 |
CD) and have failed. :-( |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
I get an error stating that |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
"The superblock could not be read of does not describe a correct ext2 |
| 94 |
filesystem.." |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
Im almost sure that its an error in my fstab file? However I try and change |
| 99 |
it by |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
mount /dev/hda1 |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
nano /etc/fstab |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
|
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
I can see the file however I can not write to it. |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
How can I modify my files? |
