Server Error

[Jinnah]

Server wouldnt let me telnet, when i checked it out it said " Kernel:195.148.247.253 sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast"
what does this mean?
When I tried to use any commands like ls it gave "Segmentation Fault(core dumped)".
I rebooted the server and now its not letting me in as doesnt recognize any login name even root.
can any1 help me out please. Cheers.

Hi,

When you say it doesn't let you in do you mean that it starts normally and gives the logon prompt but you can't login ? Or does it stop during boot up with a '#' prompt ?

If the latter, then you need to run fsck (filesystem check) against your partitions. This would be like :

# fsck -y /dev/hda7 <== check partition - example only

Make sure you substitute the correct device for the example /dev/hda7 above (e.g. /dev/sda1 for scsi) and repeat for all your linux partitions. Also that syntax assumes the partition is ext2 - it would be different if not. Be particularly careful if its a multi-boot partition with non-linux partitions .

Hope this helps
