30 Hello Hamish:
31
32 I tracked it down to the script checkroot. The command fsck returns 8
33 (Operational error) while checking the file system (/dev/md0). I did an
34 ugly hack just to boot the machine. I hard coded (retval=0) just to start
35 the machine and it does. Now, how do I fix this issue of (fsck /dev/md0)
36 returning 8 as supposed to 0?

38 Thanks again,
