Hi @ll.
I have some problems with corectly boot systems on my friend’s pc.
First he has only openSUSE 10.2, then he want me to install WinXP.
I did that but I had many problems with multisystem menu at start, of course WinXP after installation “kill” SUSE
I resolve that with this thread:
Cool Solutions: Configuring Dual Boot (SUSE Linux, Windows) Systems
But when I choose WinXP from bootmenu it was display this error:
“filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist” - that I resolve by repair system from boot CD (it repair grub, but I must to do the same changes like in novell.com thread).
Now I have mulisystem menu, WinXP start corectly, but openSUSE unfortunately not. ;-(
When I try to start SUSE, it ask me:
“Give root password for login:” and after input password shows “(none):~ # _”.
Before this question it shows some problem, exactly it shows:
fsck.ext /dev/hdb6 failed (status 0X8). Run manualy!
/dev/hdb6 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
fsck.ext /dev/hdb6 failed (status 0X8). Run manualy!

/dev/hda7:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock error on stat() /dev/sda1: No such file or directory superblock:

fsck failed for at least one filesystem (not /).
Please repair manually and reboot.
The root file system is is already mounted read-write.
Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintanance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.
Give root password for login:
So anyone have idea how to repair SUSE to start corectly???
THX for any answer!!
