Sparkle problems.

Post by boss302 »

I have gentoox installed on the f drive, and it's been working fine for a while. It was pro 1.0 and has been upgraded to the latest via magic and emerge.
After doing the latest kernel upgrade, when I boot the system I get a
"root not unmounted properly" message, since it's mounted rw it can't be checked.
Sparkle booted, didn't find any rootfs and shutdown.
I moved my rootfs to drive E and it was found, and checked.
Unfortunatly the system still doesn't boot same "root not unmounted properly error"
I have transferred the rootfs to another working linux system, and there are no errors on the file.
Since I didn't have any unreplacable work on the system I have resorted to re-installing pro1.1b which I am doing now.

So, the issue is not why it couldn't fix the rootfs, but why it didn't find it on drive f.

Hey it happens.

Turns out the script for mounting root had been ovwritten by etc-update, I wonder who did that :oops:

I will check out the new sparkle asap.

Thanks for lookin into this.

"magic uhoh" will fix that error, so long as you can get into the system first :)
