Id "mo" respawning too fast.. WHAT IS THIS?

Hi to all.

i am having this problem on my linux,

/usr/sbin/faxgettty: error while loading shared libraries: libfaxserver.so: cannot open shared object file: Input/output error
INIT: Id "mo" respawning too fast. disabled for 5 minutes.

then it seems hang already. when you press the return key it will proceed to this screen:

Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
Kernel 2.6.5-1.358 on i686

(none) login: _

but when i entered the root and the password it just showed the login prompt again and nothing happened.
how can i solve this problem? i googled this already and i cant find appropriate answer.

thnx a lot!

or how can i mount the volume so i could be able to retrieve the data. is it possible to boot from different device then retrieve the data on that hard disk?

need enlightenment on this, tnx

Have you tried booting off a Live CD?

hi dalight,

no, i havent tried yet the live cd, but is the live cd the same as the other linux boot cd?
i've tried the basic linux boot cd, i have mounted the hda1 to the /mnt/hd, but still i can only view the /boot, the initrd image and other boot files but not the whole filesystem. what i want to happen is to transfer the recoverable files from that harddisk to a new hardisk. how can i do that? any hint pls..

With a Linux CD/DVD based distro like Knoppix, you will be able to boot fully into Linux and do whatever you want.

ill try it..

tnx you dalight
