Have just installed HH, and now whilst booting my system I am dropped into the maintenance shell when fsck exits with error 8, saying that my reiserFS partitions have bad superblocks.
This is what the log looks like:
Log of fsck -C3 -R -A -a
Tue Apr 29 13:22:33 2008
fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sdb1.
Failed to open the filesystem.
If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is
valid and it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the
superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with
--rebuild-sb.
Failed to open the device '/dev/sdb6': No such file or directory
Failed to open the device '/dev/hda1': No such file or directory
reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sdb5.
Failed to open the filesystem.
If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is
valid and it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the
superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with
--rebuild-sb.
fsck died with exit status 8

----------------
Oddly enough, however, if I CTRL-D to exit the maintenance shell and continue to boot as normal, I am able to mount these partitions manually (i.e. by clicking on them) once my system has booted.
I have tried running fsck with the options specified in the log, but this also exits with an error message saying it does not recognise the switch "e". I must confess to being a little lost here as I'm not used to working in the nuts and bolts of my system like this.
