Busybox?

[jpete]

My computer locked last night while doing some downloads so I just shut it down. When I turned it back on this morning I get something called Busybox v1.1.3 with a command line(?) of INITRAMFS. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this? Thanks.

Well, I booted from the CD and basically let the computer sit all day. I rebooted and got a message that it was doing a "routine check" of the hard drive and hit ESC to get by it. After that it booted up fine. No idea what the story is but it's working OK now.

Is there anything I should do?

Something is wrong with Harddisk only. Boot up in Rescue Mode and run fsck on all partitions. You can use a Harddisk tools to check Harddisk.

I tried your suggestion but got a lot more information than I expected. Would you have a suggestion on which to use?

You have to specify filesystem of each partition. For ext3 partition, execute fsck.ext3 /dev/<partition> and for FAT32, execute fsck.vfat /dev/<partition>.
