Well, if you can't boot, then your first course of action is to boot from a LiveCD and run fsck on the partition that Puppy lives on (probably sda2 in your case, but do verify this)rameshiyer wrote:I am using 4.3.1 full installation with Ext4 ( dual boot). I am not able to boot after power loss or improper shutdown. Kindly provide solution or pet package to install so that I can reboot my puppy with reinstall the same. I have read your postings int his regard, however, I am not able to follow the postings. Kindly help me in this regard.
Once you get things running again, check out my original post for new files I just made yesterday for 4.3.1----they work the same as the ones for 4.1.2, (drop-in to /etc/rc.d, then change the line in rc.sysinit that says "fsck /dev/sda1" to reflect whatever the partition Puppy lives on is called, then reboot) with one additional caveat: the TIME ZONE MUST BE SET TO GREENWICH, or fsck reports that the superblock last write time is in the future, and won't run automatically (might only apply for the first few hours after installation, come to think of it.)
Anybody want to comment on the superblock/Greenwich issue? Thinking about it now, I guess it shouldn't matter in general, only for the first few hours after installation, as IIRC the superblock is not written to otherwise.....or am I mistaken?
