Hi;

I powered down my computer in the appropiate fashion ( "halt" from root ).

When I booted back up a message came onto the screen saying that hda1 had been mounted 34 times without a check......a check ran. ( incrementing percentages as a "\" revolved around).

Once the graphical login prompt came up I tried logging into icewm, but I would come right back to the graphical login prompt.

The same has been true for every other window manager.

For some reason if I try KDE it takes me back to a command prompt.

Any ideas how this problem happened and how I can prevent it?

Luckily, I haven't settled into knoppix yet so reinstalling wouldn't cause a hardship.
