Boot a live linux distro...maybe get KNOPPIX or Floppy Linux...fsck the
disk then restart your system....if you don't mind my asking which file
system are you using....if you are using ext2 I would suggest changing
to ext3 for everything...even /boot.....ext3 is a journaled file system.
There is also ReiserFS and JFS.  Hope this helps.  Maybe someone else on
the list can tell you if RH9 has live CD mode....???  It may I don't
know.

Hi,

This is my first mail to the group.

I am in serious problem. One of my Linux server crashed today and on
booting it is giving error "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY" PLEASE RUN FSCK
MANUALLY. Than it ask for root password.

But I have lost root password, I tried to boot in "linux single" mode
but then also it ask for root password.

Please help!!!!
