Re: boot failed due to superblock error and FAT BREAD Failure
What is the filesystem type for your linux native partition? It should be 83.
I guess you have set your harddisk to 81(minix/Linux). If you have done that,
setting the file system id back to 83 will not help. You will have to delete the
partition and and
repartition the harddisk. At least, that is my experence.
You can do a little testing yourself. Boot your system up using a floopy, then check
out your
/etc/mtab, the type displayed there could be minix/Linux. That is why you are getting
that error.
If the type is ext2, then it might be a physical harddisk problem.
Hope this helps.
