Steve,
I do not get the grub menu. It stalls out just before. Because of this, I'm now thinking there may be a problem with my boot partition. I rebooted using the rescue disk, and did a df -k to get information on my filesystems. A shorthand version of the output was:
Filesystem Mounted on
/dev /dev
/dev/loop0 /mnt/runtime
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-logVol00 /mnt/sysimage
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage/boot
/dev /mnt/sysimage/dev
from this /dev/sda1 appears to be my boot filesystem.
I'm thinking, performing a fsck on the boot partition, may help
me find out what the problem is. However, when I run the following
command:
fsck -n /dev/sda1
I get these warnings:
WARNING! /dev/sda1 is mounted
WARNING: couldn't open /etc/fstab
What is the correct way to check my boot partition and
possibly correct it?
Thanks
Jim
