I recently installed 10.1 on my second hard drive, with hdb1 being the /
partition. All partitions were formatted and I installed everything but
Emacs automatically.

I'm using a boot manager, so I specified that LILO be installed on hdb1.
The LILO installer said it had a problem, but I could use a boot disk to
boot.

When I tried to boot, I got a message about the superblock being
clobbered. It asked me to enter the root password to enter single user
mode, but then wouldn't take the one I'd specified.

Using the installation CD, I ran e2fsck with the "-b 8193" option as the
message suggested. It appeared to find and fix several problems, but
when I rebooted I got the same error message as before.

I checked a few HOWTOs and did a Google, but could find nothing that
matched the problem.

Anyone know a solution to this? I'm going to try again with the e3fsck
and then try doing a reinstall of only the A and AP sections to see if
that works. But if this is a common problem, I'd appreciate any help
that anyone here can give.

BTW, I installed LILO on that partition before, when I installed
Minislack and it worked fine. But I wanted some things not in the
Minislack distribution so I tried the full-blown one.
