I've just spend about 30 minutes trying to reboot my Sid machine :(
During boot it tried to run fsck on /tmp/rootdev. That failed, telling
me to do it manually instead. Logging in as root and poking around told
me the following:
1. /dev/mapper/VGRoot-LVRoot1 was mounted on root
2. /dev/mapper/VGRoot-LVRoot1 didn't exist
3. /tmp/rootdev did exist, wasn't mounted, but I couldn't run fsck on
it.
Booting a Ubuntu LiveCD I ran fsck successfully on the device (logical
volume). That didn't fix my booting problems though. :)
I found out that not running checkroot.sh at all during bootup is a bad
idea. Instead I ended up commenting out the following lines:
#
# The actual checking is done here.
#
if [ "$rootcheck" = yes ]
then
if [ -f /forcefsck ]
then
...
log_end_msg $FSCKCODE
fi
fi
This is probably not a good solution in the long turn, but it allowed me
to boot, log in, and send this email. :-)
Anyone else with similar problems?
