Stuck at "Checking root FS..."
Pro Pioneer, extra RAM, quad core CPU, been running 6.4.1, and the device was recently factory defaulted (after installing 6.4.1rc2) and data reloaded into it. The past two weeks, sometime betwe...
Following up, when the system boots, it actually starts to respond to pings for a total of 6 seconds, unfortunately sshd doesn't come up in that window, so there is no way in before it stops responding to pings again.
I was assuming fsck was choking on checking the root FS, but since it responded to pings, root must be working well enough to bring up networking, and we're either getting a kernel hang or a kernel panic sometime after that.
Any resolution to this? I may be having a similar issue.
Hi jetheroheller,
Which system and Firmware are you using? Have you receive an email notification from NETGEAR about the health or status of the drives in your system?
Looking forward hearing back from you.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamBrianL2 I raised a separate thread with my own details, which you have found. Thank you for your help. I was just wondering if this story had a happy ending....
I'll follow up with you and/or mdgm on that other thread.
