I recently had a Redhat v.9 installed to dual boot with xp on my comp. Yesterday while booting linux i got an error message "checking root filesystem /: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. if the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and might try running e2fsck with an alternative superblock"
i have tried running "e2fsck -f -b 32768 /dev/hda6" . the system them tells me of numerous errors that i click yes to corrrect. Unfortunately when i reboot i still get the same above error message. Is my linux gone or can i repair it without reinstalling?
