strange slackware problem

Post by thegreatone2176 »

I have dual booted slack along time and last time i tryed to boot i got a strange error about corrupted file system forced check and it says theres an error and puts me in single user mode

now i installed with the ext2 option and it said there is some error with that and it was trying to boot it as read only so i restarted and and at boot: i mounted the drive as rw and when it got to the part taht errored before it gave me some messagea bout the drive already being rw even though right above it it said it was ro and then i hit enter and it works fine

I looked on the slack disc to see if i could reinstall the system files w/o re installing the whole thing but couldnt find anything

i boot from a floppy and its slack 10.1

is there a way to fix this? has anyone else got this error?

Did you try fsck when in single user mode? What does fsck report? (man fsck)
