For that I'm sorry...
So, I will try to maximally use my vocabulary to get You could to understand what I'm saying about... And also to provide You as much the details as I only can...

First, don't apologise for your language, your english is better than my ukranian (but it is good to know)

The filesystem on your root partition needs fixing before it will boot.
enter the root password then run

Code: Select all

fsck /dev/sda1

reboot

Secondly, don't apologize for being a noob, it's impossible to start as a guru. You did a good job of describing your problem and providing enough information for someone to provide help.

These forums might be a good place to learn both technical and creative English...

[TSerzhO_]

Thanks, dilberts_left_nut... If You ever need a language help (Ukrainian or russian), then I am here for You... And here too...

So, about my debian problem...
I were trying to type my root password in that moment (where is a "_" symbol: {

Code: Select all

...
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue): _

}), but then I've got nothing... Unfortunately, I'm not at home right now and can't to tell You, what actually happens exactly...

Ctrl+D - all just the same...

[dilberts_left_nut]

It won't show on the screen, just type it and push enter and you should get a command prompt.

[TSerzhO_]

to use the img tags to post an image you first have to post the image at an image hosting site.
here are links to a few free image hosting sites.

It may take a few tries to figure out how to link to your images,
but most free image hosting sites give Forum url's
after you post the image so you can copy and paste the images "Forum url"

Hi,

I have the same problem, but when I run fsck /dev/sda1, I get this message:
"Error reading block 5539406 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading indirect blocks of inode 1376394. Ignore error<y>?"

I am running debian_squeeze_i386_desktop.qcow2, and it was working properly before I tried to make a bridge between host system and qemu.

Thank you in advace for the help,
Mahboobeh

I have the same problem,

Even if you have similar problem, the cause of the problem may be different.
it is better for you to start a new thread. You can link this thread in your new thread.

but when I run fsck /dev/sda1, I get this message:
"Error reading block 5539406 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading indirect blocks of inode 1376394. Ignore error<y>?"

I am running debian_squeeze_i386_desktop.qcow2, and it was working properly before I tried to make a bridge between host system and qemu.

Your debian_squeeze is booting as the host system, isn't it?

I wonder if /dev/sda1 has bad sector(s).
I suggest you backing-up important data to a safe place such as a partition in an USB media (removable media).
Can you unmount /dev/sda1?
After backing up all the important data, unmount the partition which contains the copied data, and remove the USB media. Then, you can check /dev/sda1 like

Code: Select all

umount /dev/sda1
fsck -f -y -c -c /dev/sda1

with root privilege.

[mahboobehd]

Hi and thank you for the help.

My debian_squeeze is booting as the guest system!
I can not unmount /dev/sda1! It was not successful and I got lots of errors like: inode out of bounds -offset=....
