Here's what I would do. Boot off a floppy or livecd. |

Then, do NOT mount your root drive (/dev/hdb6) you may have a problem |
| 7 |
with. run |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
reiserfsck --check /dev/hdb6 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
and see what pops up. If you get a message to run fix-fixable, then follow |
| 12 |
those directions. |

It could be as simple as not shutting down properly or having had to |
| 15 |
reboot without shutting down at all. A status bit is set on the drive |
| 16 |
which tells fsck that it was not shutdown properly. Reiser is unique in |
| 17 |
that it can't really check the root partition carefully because it is |
| 18 |
always mounted read-only when it checks it. |

But definitely, you need to boot off a different medium to fix this. |
