djemos, This installation has been on this Dell 1525 for a couple of years now. I have it installed on a Solid State Drive. I did not upgrade the kernel, only the updates that come down. I checked using fdisk -l, and Gparted and see all of the partitions, Slackel = sda1 etx4, Puppy = sda2 etx4, 14gb ...

Booting with USB live, I can see /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 using Gparted. Neither are showing as full sda1 = 78.12 GiB, used 12.43. But there is no disk listed in the cat /etc/fstab command, neither sda or hda. Running the e2fsck -v -y /dev/hda1 does not fix the issue. I'm thinking my fstab file is ...

djemos, I am getting the following: Attempt to remount root device as read-write failed! This is going to cause serious problems.

djemos,

I am getting an error on the latest batch of updates.
"Failed to download grep: HTTP response code said error"
Is there a way to get past this one?

Thanks,

Thanks for everyone's help. I got my system restored without having to reinstall from scratch. I had to use the live usb method to get things working again.

Maras, The x-server is not starting and I have no terminal to enter this command in my system. I am using live usb to type this response. After the grub screen, the Slackel 14.2 boot selection is made and I get the following messages: [ 3.430195] EXT4-fs (sda1). couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature ...

I ran the updates using Gslapt package manager and saw it only once, just something like "An error occurred"

Hello,
not
I ran the latest batch of updates and got an error message at the end of the process.

Now my system is completely down, all I get is login@darkstar prompt and cannot get past that.
Can someone help please! Thanks.

djemos,

I am running Slackel on a Solid State Drive. Do you know of any configuration changes that should be made under Slackware?
Looking for this information on the internet, there is not much out there for Slackware.
Other Linux distributions have changes to the fstab file, etc.

David
