TwoFace Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hm, it's sad. You mean I need reinstall Linux? :( But I can read this partition from Windows using Ext2Fsd-0.31 And why it checks sda4? I have swap there not ext3!

Ixthusdan Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 If the information is correct, your root partition is sda3 and swap is sda4. And so your grub entry should be: title linux 2.6.22.12-1 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv BOOT_IMAGE=linux_2.6.22.12-1 root=/dev/sda3 resume=/dev/sda4 splash=silent mem=1024M vga=788 initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd-2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv.img Note that the resume entry. I keep a live distro around (PCLinuxOS) so that I can get into my file system when I mess it up. I use several different distros and the installation process occasionally messes things up.

TwoFace Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I changed the resume entry and now I have the grub entry exactly as in your post, but I have the same error. Maybe the system thinks that my root partition is sda4? How can I check this and correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Why don't you contact Symantec and report them the mess you've met by using their "Partition Magic" product? Mind you though that "purchase" of Hiren's Boot CD is not regarded as a valid ticket for Symantec support... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFace Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Actually, I've used Partition Magic only for viewing partition table. OK, then I'll reinstall Linux :((( Oh... My CVS server, my MBs of updates... :( Oh, this stupid Windows, now I really hate it... gr... Thank you guys for your time and help!

ianw1974 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 The superblock problem usually means you've got a big filesystem problem. So, you can restore from the second superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdb1 but you need to boot the system in rescue mode or single user mode to do this. And do it for the partition that was reporting the problem. Then try booting the system again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFace Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Oh, thank you for advice! But I've reinstalled Linux already! :( So, the topic may be closed. Thanks for all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
