Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 117648
fsck.ext3 for device LABEL=/ exited with signal 11.
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:37 EST
I installed Fedora Core 1 normally. Everything worked without a problem. Then I tried to update it, but there were some problems with it, so I downloaded the updates for up2date and up2date-gnome (I believe that's the name of the 2nd file) and installed those seperately from the automatic updates. I downloaded the first package entirely which was Xfree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55.i386.rpm The computer worked fine for the rest of the night. When I restarted the computer in the morning, it would not work. It starts to load up, to where it mentions the host files and then the screen changes to text mode and gives the error message: fsck.ext3 for device LABEL=/ exited with signal 11. So far I haven't even found out what signal 11 means. Also, the harddrive that this resides on has a 2 seperate partitions (1 is WinXP) and the 2nd is just an empty drive. Both of them are Fat32 and are working.
I need more information: - hard dist partition list (fdisk -l) - /etc/fstab - /boot/grub/grub.conf (without password, if any)
Hello, fdisk -l gave the following readout: Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20003880960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System /dev/hda1 1 535 4297356 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 536 637 819315 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda3 * 638 650 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 651 2432 14313915 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 651 2367 13791771 83 Linux /dev/hda6 2368 2432 522081 82 Linux swap Here is my /etc/fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 Label=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win0 vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/win0 vfat defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto, owner, kudzu, ro 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick autofs, user 0 0 When I tried to go to /boot/grub/grub.conf, It said there was no directory named grub. However, I went into the bootloader, and this is what is has if it helps: root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb initrd /intrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img Thank for responding :-) Sincerely, Travis
Please send me the output of "tune2fs -l LABEL=/". /dev/hda5 is root (LABEL=/), right? Can you generate a core file of "e2fschk LABEL=/" for me? You have to use the rescue boot for this.
Created attachment 99083 [details] fsck fails with signal 11 at 1st time, 2nd run succeed. The problem is quite "stable", It happens on each machines I upgraded from RedHat 8.0 to Fedora Core 1. All other partitions with "LABEL=/", "LABEL=/usr", "LABEL=/0", "LABEL=/alexa" works fine, except this "LABEL=/var" (/dev/hda10).
I'd need the following: - e2fsprogs version (rpm -q e2fsprogs) - tune2fs -l LABEL=/var
Closed due to user inactivity.
