« on: February 27, 2010, 01:46:22 PM »
I reformated My Data Partitions ext4.I forgot to remove them from the fstab before I did it.Now PclinuxOS will not bootup completely Can I edit come the liveCD.It will boot to Control-d.I tried fsck.I think I have to change the fstab file to get it to boot.

From the liveCD, logged in as root, you can mount the / partition, then edit the installed fstab with kwrite. All you need to edit is the line for that partition, changing the ext3 to ext4, then save the file. It should then mount properly on the next boot. This assumes you have a kernel that is ext4 compatible.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

That did it.
I forgot to tell you I had to change the Partitions sda14 was ahead of sda6 & sda7.For what reason I do not know.This must have changed the uuid numbers.In the livecd I had to mount sda 6 & sda7.Backup now.

Thanks Your a good Guy to have around.This is not the first time you saved me.Keep up the good work.
Thanks Again
