Can not boot to Linux
hi,
Yesterday night when I was running 'updatedb', my HD suddenly produce a
strange sound 'scrit... scrit...' It is like when a HD reading something,
but this time the sound is much more longer. So I thought something is
wrong, and I
cancel the job by using CTRL-C. After that, I try to copy a file from one
folder to the other, it was fail with the message 'Read Only file, bla bla
bla'. I thought by rebooting everything will be solved, but I was wrong. The
computer won't boot into my linux system, every time the booting process
reach the part where they will check my root system then the HD will start
producing the sound.
Let me show the complete message:
Checking Root File System
FSCK 1.25 (20 Sept 2001)
/dev/hda6 Contain File System With Error, Check Forced
[The sound starts now]
HDA : IRQ timeout : Status=0xD0 {Busy}
IDE0 : Reset : Success
[The sound still there]
After about 2 minutes, they give me option whether I want to login as a root
or I reboot the system. When I login as a root, I try to do 'fsck.ext2 -vc'
manually, and it will return the same message as above. It will just stuck
there, with my HD keep reading. So I reboot again.
Can anyone please tell me what has happened to my system? Actually this is
not the first time, it happened the same thing aroung few weeks back. That
time I solved it by reinstall my system, and nothing happen until yesterdat
night.
Thank you
willy
