(Solved) Can this be fixed?

Post by loukingjr »

I had a working PCLinuxOS mini-me guest until the last time I rebooted the guest. Then I got this screen...

Is this fixable or do I need to re-install?

btw, this is at least the third different guest of various flavors that has failed at some point since VB 3.2.10

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

okay well, I don't know what happened but, somehow the /etc/fstab file was changed from...

UUID=fc136849-3c01-496f-88fa-97ab0c9/dev/sda1 / rootfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

to

UUID=fc136849-3c01-496f-88fa-97ab0c9/dev/root / rootfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

I changed it back and all is well.
