- I installed Linux on my hard drive as Linux Extended FS (Partition ID
- 83), with the SLS distribution. After the installation was complete, I
- rebooted...and it came up with "magic match failed". Other than that
- statement, Linux works fine. I can login, etc.
-
- Oh, yes, when I do a fsck /dev/hda2 it comes up with a "bad magic number
- in super-block". What does this mean?? Can anyone shed some light here??
