I upgraded several available packages through package manager alert and upon reboot I could not get the system up and running again. it gave me an error regarding file systems like - *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot ... Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup): I tried doing fsck -A -y and tried rebooting it but it still ends up with the same error again and again. I have FC6 rescue disk but I really dont understand how to use it. after googling I figured out that once the filesystem is mounted at /mnt/syslinux, I should modify the /etc/fstab file entries. I really dont understand what to modify, /etc/fstab looks like - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this all is really gibberish for a newbie like me. please help me to recover the system as I have much of important data on the drive. I have one 80 GB harddrive with no partition on it. there is no dual boot or anything else and it just has FC6. it looks like its a fairly common problem and please please help me to recover from this.. anticipating ur help, thanks parth </div></div> <hr size=1>Ready for the edge of your seat? <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=48220/*http://tv.yahoo.com/">Check out tonight's top picks</a> on Yahoo!
