Long story short, a while ago I cloned the hd of a
Fuel I got given (6.5.16, original installation from an iconic car designer, Bertone), and
all was ok. The original hd was then left in place but unpowered, the cloned was upgraded
to 6.5.22 to maintain the classic applications.
getting more puzzled... the boot drive appeared
readable, so why the scsi hard errors.
Then I simply reconnected the original hd, and from that one boots with no issues...
result, probably the last or both shutdowns while the Audigy was plugged were not so
clean.
Bottom line, anyone ever got in this situation and has
some tips on what to do ?
I had something similar happen to one of my Indys running 6.5.22
recently, and I ended up running standalone fx from an installation CD
to map out the corrupt sector and then reinstalling. That wasn't too
bad because I have all the necessary 6.5.x CDs as images on a server on
the same network (so no tedious swapping of a dozen or so CDs) and I
have a "selections" file for inst, with the things I need.
But since you have a bootable drive, you might be able to bring the
system up with both drives installed, booting from the 6.5.16 drive, and
running fsck over the (unmounted) 6.5.22 drive. If that doesn't work,
you could probably still create a selections file from the unbootable
drive which you could use in the worst case of having to re-install.
