- Hi All !
- For everybody who had/has or will have the same Problems here is how I fixed
- it :
-
- As I lost every control over me I only thought all is crashed. So I booted
- with my rawrited disks and started fdisk.
- Fdisk told my that some numbers are wrong, and they will be corrected if
- I write the bartition table (It sad this just after starting up). So I
- did a <w> in fdisk and rebooted. But still I had the same problems. So
- I got back and booted again with my rawrited system and restarted fdisk again.
- Now I have set my HD-datas in the extendet menu (because I have an SCSI-Hd)
- and after thet I made a <p> to show my partition table.
-
- And here I found it : My rootpartition had wrong beginning and endings !!!
- (-27363 or someting like that). So I deleted the root-partition and made
- a new one, with THE SAME PARAMTERS AS IT HAD ! After that I writed the table
- and rebooted.
-
- Yeah ! After that my System comes up as normaly. Fsck means all is ok and
- every thing is fine ! (Uffff...)
-
- So the Question is now : What screwed up my PARTITION TABLE ???
-
- Was it the command <shutdown -r now> or was it because I filled my /usr
- partion till 100% and deleted aftter that some files ? I don't know,
- but it was strange !!!
-
- Greetings to everybody, and thanks for every help I received !
