+ Puppy 4.1.0 full install
+ USB Keyboard and mouse (PS2 not an option)
+ Was running fine for a few days
+ The machine suffered power loss when puppy was running and now does not boot - hangs with"#" after doing the USB 1 2 3..10 and does not accept any keyboard input
+ I can boot puppy from CD, mount my HD and view the files/folders of my puppy install, but booting from the HD always results in the hang. Note that when booting from CD the "Waiting for modules to complete loading" runs quicker - it does "usb 1" then is done.
I've found loads of useful information in other threads, particularly with regard to setting up journaling to try and prevent this sort of thing happening again (which I will do).
In the meantime my problem remains trying to get the system to boot again. I've tried running fsck on the file system (after booting from CD) but that has not solved the problem.
Having a look at the bit in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit where it does the "Waitingfor modules to complete loading" bit the while loop exits after 10 iterations. So when I see "usb 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" what that really means is that the usb module did not load ?
One other thing I notice is that when trying to boot from HD I get this message:
Code: Select all
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 23: /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE: Read-only filesystem
Any help would be much appreciated!
