I really probably shouldn't say anything, not being an 'expert' in this area, but when I use a Live CD/DVD/USB I don't use any extra parameters. Have you tried just running the Live DVD, letting it boot, and simply logging in as guest ?

CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and retry" Control-D just terminates and that's it. I know the filesystem is corrupted...is there a way to get it back or do I need to do a clean install? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jaz Adv Reply March 29th, 2010 #2 thomasaaron View Profile View Forum Posts

I have just tried to run a PCLinuxOS v9.3 - big error unable daddy - from my CD on an XP configured machine by simply altering the boot drive sequence. I get the list of boot options as expected and choose LIVECD - default. The PCLinuxOS coloured badge appears and starts the loading process, then I get an error message "ERROR: Unable to mount the livecd" - "dropping you to a limited shell". It then loads /initrd/bin/ash - ending with a message error unable to - "cant access tty; job control turned off" and then leaves me with the ash command prompt.Bearing in mind this whole apparatus works perfectly well with XP at the moment and also that I have a perfectly normal IDE CD read drive unit, this was unexpected.It looks very serious and basic to me - can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be / where to get help etc.Many thanks - a newbie.
