Greetings

where i work we have a common room with computers that folks can use.

they all have Suse linux installed. over the weekend a computer developed a problem and i want to figure out if the install is fargled or did someone some how put in a password.

this is the final text that comes up after booting.....

"fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read only. To remount it read write do

bash# mount -n -o remount, rw

attention only control D will reboot the system in this maintenance mode. Shut down or reboot will not work.

Give root password for login: "

can anyone tell what is broken by the above text?
(sorry for sounding like a "pakled"<sp> ... Star Trek TNG reference..
"it is broken..can you make it go?" )

fsck is the equivalent of chkdsk and it failed to do an automatic repair so it's asking you to run it manually.
