[mdlug] my laptop can't mount my file system (SuSE 11.1) Urgent!!

[Ching-Yi Hsieh]

Hello,
I put LiveCD in CD drive. It loaded Linux kernel directly and entered to the 
pre-installation interface. However, I don't want to re-install, but want to fix 
my problems. Now it is getting worse. I can't log in the root to do anything. 
Please give me some advice. This is urgent. I am willing to pay the labor fee to 
any of you to help me this. Thanks a lot.

Ching-Yi

Boot a LiveCD (or USB), preferably the same distribution/version you
have installed.  Open a terminal and login as root ("sudo su" on
Ubuntu).  Then run fsck against the drive partiton (probably located
at /dev/sda1 or sdb1 or something).  Read the fsck manual page first
("man fsck").  You will probably want the -p option but it depends on
the problem and filesystem type.
