file system error
I am getting an error at boot time that concerns me. I am not
exactly sure what it means. Perhaps someone can straighten
this out for me.
Let me begin by saying I used PowerQuest Drive Image 3.0 to
make an image of one linux system and I restored it two a
different PC with a drive that was of the same capacity, but a
different brand (IBM Deskstar --> Maxtor DiamondMax). The
system had Windows on it previously, and when I booted, I just
saw 'LI' and the system hung. I booted with a linux floppy,
logged in, typed 'LILO' and rebooted. The system came up fine
except for the error below:
Activating swap partitions swapon: /dev/hda2 : Invalid Argument
The system appears to run fine however. Here is what my
partition table looks like:
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 372 2988058+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 373 1010 5124735 5 Extended
/dev/hda3 1011 1027 136552+ 82 Linux Swap
/dev/hda5 373 1010 5124703+ 83 Linux
I used fdisk delete my swap partition, then I recreated it. That
didn't change anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Glaser
