1 Hi,
2
3 I am experiencing a boot problem after having used
4 "testdisk" recovery utility:
5
6 My disk contained the following partitions:
7
8 hda1 : Primary, NTFS
9 hda2 : Primary, Linux ext2 (gentoo boot partition)
10 hda3 : Primary, NTFS
11 hda4 : Extended
12 hda5 : Logical, Linux Swap
13 hda6 : Logical, ext3 (gentoo root partition)
14
15 I am using kernel 2.6 and grub as boot manager
16
17 Using testdisk,
18 hda2 was renamed hda3 and hda3 was renamed hda2.
19
20 When booting, I did not access grub selection page.
21 I changed grub.conf so that the boot partition in
22 grub.conf is hda3, and used "grub" shell to write grub
23 to the MBR.
24
25 Now when I boot I get to grub selection page, I can
26 boot windows, but when booting Gentoo, I get the
27 following errors:
28 "starting devfs
29 error opening file: /etc/devfs.d : no such file or
30 directory
31 could not start /sbin/devfsd"
32
33 then further:
34 "fsck.ext3 no such file or directory while trying to
35 open /dev/hda6
36 /dev/hda6: the superblock could not be read or does
37 not describe a correct ext2 filesystem"
38
39 Can anyone help?
40 Thanks,
41 Julien
