[cobalt-users] Boot Problem!

["Diego Martin Surasky" <msurasky@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First of all... sorry for my English... I'm from Argentina and I didn't 
study it when I should... shame on me!!! :-(

Now, my problem....
I'm suffering serious problems regarding the boot proccess of my Qube3 
server. The thing is that it doesn't finish loading (in the LCD display it 
stalls whith a "booting..." label).
When I tried to look the boot sequence through a serial cable and a console 
I got the following...

I saw a posted message with a simmilar problem but not the same... does 
anybody experienced something like this? (I know the reason of my failure 
was an electric short, but I don't know if there is a chance to fix this one 
without mounting the disk in another Linux Server and trying to fsck)
And why the RAID-1 system didn't do it work anyway?

Thanks!... ahh by the way, this message was posted in hotmail because the 
mail server is not working.... guess why? :-)

Bye
