- Hi there,
-
- I have succeeded yet again in somehow killing unix. I have Version 2.1
- with the patch applied.
-
- THis is the error i get when i try to boot unix...
-
- PANIC: swapconf lookupname /dev/dsk/c0d0s2 failed error 2
-
- 4.0 2.1c 0800430 Backtrace
- 4001F28: 783E66C -> 78595a4
- more addresses
-
- Double Panic (more addresses)
-
-
- Obviously the something has happened to the swap space.. but what?
-
- I use the install disks to try and fix it...
-
- Select the keyborad...
-
- Tell it to repair...
-
- States that mount of /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 failed - invalid argument..
-
- then....
-
- Do you wish to fsck /dev/dsk/c0d0s1 [y]
- can't open /etc/mnttab
- ** /dev/dsk/c0d0s1
- BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
- Use -b option to save location of an alternate super-block
- to supply needed info. See fsck(1m).
-
-
- Any ideas...
-
- This error has occured before... the only way to correct was to
- reinstall
- the tape. This is a problem since the tape i have is faulty.
-
- Any help would be appreciated (hint there Frank Edwards :)
-
- Regards,
-
