RE: [cobalt-users] Raq2 Doesn't Boot

[Thornton Prime <thornton@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I stated, if I boot on the console, it says 'VFS: Mounted root (ext2
filesystem) readonly.' and then stops. It doesn't get to the prompt, and I
can't get to a shell to unmount and fsck the partitions.

I also tried the 'backdoor' boot with same results.

:(

I think I'm fscked.
