Re: Linux crash aid request

[Stefan Parvu <stefan parvu comptel com>]

Hello,

Well, be sure that your HDD is ok. Which means run fsck.ext2 and the partition
what you need.

If are u sure that there are no hardware media failures try booting RH6.0 in
single user mode. Run again fsck.ext2 and check your partitions to see what's
going on. 

Some other ideas !?

Best regards,
stef
