[Sheflug] Boot Up Problems

[Darrell Blake <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just finished building my LFS system and when I boot up into it I
get the following output...

Activating swap... swapon: cannot stat /dev/hda6: No such file or
directory.
Checking file systems...
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining
whether /dev/hda7 is mounted.
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda7
(null):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains and ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
fsck failed. Please repair your file systems manually by running
/sbin/fsck without the -a option.
Please not that the current file system is mounted in read-only mode.
I will start sulogin now when you logout I will reboot your system.
Give root password for maintenance (or control-d for normal startup):

I know that it looks like /dev/hda6 and /dev/hda7 doesn't exist and when
I type in the root password and run ls in /dev they don't appear (most
of the devices dont). But when I mount /dev/hda7 in my main linux system
and look in the /mnt/hda7/dev folder all the devices are there. I've
tried putting the lfs system on different partitions so I can't see
where it's getting the superblock problem. I've tried running fsck on
the partitions but I still get the fsck problem. In my /etc/fstab file I
mount / with a default of 1 1 so it shouldn't say that the filesystem is
mounted read-only.

Can anyone help me?

Darrell
