Booting problem, kernel panic, tried to kill idle process, keeps asking for fsck of root partition.
That is a summary of what happens when my mom tries to boot the Linux box that she's trying to use. That's all I could gather over the phone. It's a Redhat box with custom kernel etc. It was working when I left.
Could someone go over there (Prabhadevi) and find out what the real problem is, and fix it? She has the root password and her user account. I'd do it, but being in California is a problem.
Contact me privately if you are able and willing to do this. If you could find the problem with and fix the CPU fan as well, that's a plus.
