Hi all. My Debian Sid box won't restart after today's full-upgrade. At booting, I read Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Could that message provide any suggestion for what has happened and how to fix it? I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help, Rodolfo
No it doesn't. ext2fs can refer to ext2, 3 or 4 file systems. The partition type 83 is simply a Linux partition that can contain a variety of file systems.
To get back into your system, you can try booting from a Linux CD (system rescue CD, for example) and trying to debug from there. For example, you could try (assuming your Linux drive is /dev/sda1):
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mount -o loop /dev /mnt/dev mount -o loop /sys /mnt/sys mount -o loop /proc /mnt/proc chroot /mnt bash
