[cobalt-users] Qube checking disk

[Jerry Ellis <admin@xxxxxxxx>]

I have a Qube 2 that won't boot. A few seconds after you power it up it 
hangs on "Checking disk...." I connected a serial cable to it and captured 
the output. I've posted it below. I think the last line is a clue to my 
problem. I need to get this box running. Can someone point me in the right 
direction here?

Thanks,  Jerry
