ShineDesign Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Ok, so I had a problem with OpenGL (as stated in my post: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=18805 ) and the readme told me to delete the line in /etc/security/console.perms relating to <dri>. So I did...and now my MDK 10 won't run. It says it can't mount the superblock, errors in the console.perm file. etc etc etc. Beforehand, I made a backup of console.perms, of which I can't revert back to because even as root, it won't let me overwrite (saying it's read only). So, I put Knoppix on a CD to mount the drive from there and overwrite, but knoppix won't mount the drive. root@ttyp0[knoppix]# mount /mnt/hdg1 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdg1, or too many mounted file systems Whats up with this? Anybody know how I can reload my console.perms.backup file back to the console.perms file, or at least just edit the console.perms and add the deleted line back in without giving me a "read-only" error? I even CHMOD the file from root...no luck. [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineDesign Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Oh, I also tried the "upgrade" option from the MDK10 CD 1 on boot, but I guess it doesn't reload the console.perms file. Same error comes up about the supermount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) Try 'mount /dev/hdX /mnt/hdX' (where X=g1 in your case) Edited September 17, 2004 by devries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[moved from Software by spinynorman] <{POST_SNAPBACK}> my opinion, others may think different ;) i only have lilo, so i can't tell you how to do it whit another boot loader at the boot loader screen press ESC the at the ":" write single linux, being linux your name for linux, in my case it would be linux or 267-ck5 then press Return it should start your linux on maintenance mode, there you can modify your console perms, if you can't do this, use the mounting command line given by devries.. if you have another error message from missing type, write this.. mount -t auto /dev/hdX /mnt/hdX, or mount -t filesystem /dev/hdX /mnt/hdX, where filesystem could be ext2, ext3, xfs, reiserfs, etc.. i hope this could be of help ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
