Hi guys, Thank for responses first Here is the full text that include the "more text": [snip] /etc/init.d/rcS line 227: /sbin fsck permission denied fsck failed. Please repair manually. Please note that root filesystem is current mounted read-only to remount it read-write #mount -n -o remount, rw / Ctrl-D will exit from shell and reboot the system. [/snip] [roll-eyes] I try to get to rescue mode (single user, init=/bin/bash)... - Get to shell: try /etc/init.d/rcS -> same error - run: $> mount -n -o remount, rw / it says: EXT3 FS on hdc1, internal journal - try: /sbin/fsck /dev/hdc1 error come up: Permission denied so I got a feeling something wrong with permission in fsck thing :) b'coz currrent i'm root but cannot execute it :) Thanks in advance Nigel On Thu, 2005-01-06 at 14:59 +1300, Daniel Lawson wrote:

Does anyone got any idea what the problem is this and how to get over ?
fsck is to linux what scandisk is to windows. It checks your partitions for inconsistencies. If fsck fails, it normally means it came across an error which it prefers to ask for permission to fix.
The "more text" bit should have told you how to run fsck manually to fix this problem. It'll definitely tell you which partition was at fault, so you'll need to boot into single user more and run that command.
This generally means there has been some sort of filesystem corruption, although why and where it happened can be for any number of reasons - broken kernels, broken hardware, sunspots, etc.
