| 1236590 | 2011-10-10 08:05:00 | My OpenSUSE stopped booting for a while (it's fine now). The failsafe boot option didn't work What do people do in this situation? (for OpenSUSE or other distros) I'm a bit of a newb with linux |

| 1236591 | 2011-10-10 08:37:00 | Did it fix itself? Normally you would look for the error message and ask (or search) for what may have cause it and a solution. |

| 1236592 | 2011-10-10 09:20:00 | What you would do depends on whether the error is a boot loader problem or after that - i.e. an OS loading problem. Typically you might try to re-install the boot loader or fsck (file system check) the boot partition. However if this happens it normally indicates something quite serious is wrong! | johnd (85) | ||
| 1236593 | 2011-10-10 09:32:00 | Yes it fixed itself I was interested in knowing what sort of things people did when linux doesn't boot - such as boot disks under Windows Looking up the error message is a good suggestion. I assume tho that not all boot problems have an easy solution Just generally interested :) |

| 1236594 | 2011-10-10 09:42:00 | @johnd yeah I'm wondering now if the hardware is a bit flaky Is there some standard set of tools to do that stuff? (recovery disk or something) Thanks for suggestions |

| 1236595 | 2011-10-11 06:25:00 | The tools used by most people are either the live CD from the distribution you have installed or better something like PartedMagic. (sourceforge.net) | johnd (85) | ||
| 1236596 | 2011-10-11 07:13:00 | Thanks. Ran fsck- seemed to work, am downloading the ISO Problem comes and goes- i think swap partition getting errors |
