Perchik Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I dunno if this is the right place for this, but I couldnt find anything about this on the forum. Move it to where you will :-p Well I finally got out of single user mode. When I booted up it would display all the diagnositc messages and stuff but then it would have some kinda error, tell me that it was going to boot as single user mode, and then stop at localhost:/ root# expecting me to type something. Sadly, I didn't know what to type....so I'd hold the power button and try again. After trials and some internet docs, I eventually figured out how to get out of this. At localhost:/ root# type in fsck -f This runs a disk check utility thingy. (thats the technical term) If it asks you to fix something just say yes. When it finished, I ran it again just to be safe If it all worked it should send you back to the localhost:/ root# prompt. I think mounted my hd using mount -uw/ It didnt tell me anything worked. But according to the stuff I found on google, it shouldnt. I then typed reboot and it restarted. Then my boot worked just fine :-) Hope this helps anyone having this issue. For reference, I did this : localhost:/ root# fsck -f localhost:/ root# fsck -f localhost:/ root# mount -uw/ localhost:/ root# reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
