Hi all,
I've had Fedora Core 1 running successfully on my Compaq M700 1000MHz
laptop since March. I've had trouble with the ACPI power management
going to sleep where I had no way to wake it up. The last time I did a
hardware reboot because I had no other options and it would no longer boot.
I get a message that the system has been uncleanly shut down and hit the
"Y" to let it fsck the disk. All goes well though mounting /swap until
this message comes up twice:
Yenta IRQ
list 06b8 PCI irq 11
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta IRQ
list 06b8 PCI irq 11
Socket status: 30000006
After that message is shown the disk has occasional activity but it
never completes booting.
Is this a sign that he disk is throughly corrupt?
I can't quite figure out a way to change the Grub boot options to get to
the disk. I have pressed the "I" to get Interactive options but it
doesn't seem to have an effect. I guess I have to boot to a CD and poke
around, which I can do. Should I comment out the Yenta driver?
It boots to WinXP fine so I know a don't have a disk hardware problem.
I'd appreciate any advice.
