To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi as vanilla linux 2.5.13 compiled beautifully for me last night one I couldn't resist the temptation to boot it up and give it a whirl on my workstation (a monoprocessor AMD ATHLON on VIA motherboard with recent 20GB IDE disk and EXT2 file system, NVIDIA video card). Boot went OK until a message something like "checking filesystems - check forced -mounted 31 times without verification - verifying now". Shortly afterwards I got an OOPS message. EIP : 0010: [ Not Tainted .... <0> Kernel Panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! In interrupt handler - not syncing Not to worry I try to reboot my stable kernel - this fails at the mount command (library's needed by mount command are missing). Impossible to login (password file must be corrupted too). With the rescue disk I run e2fsck and home partition is dead (bad superblocks) and nothing recoverable. The root file system is also corrupted (bad superblocks but not as badly as home). I have some other partitions which I haven't checked yet - maybe some of them survived. As I am not subscribed to the list please CC me in any response. If I can recover the kernel compile I will try to give some configuration options and try to decode the full oops message. More details available on request. Best regards William Stinson (wstinsonfr@yahoo.fr.nospam) P.S. The hard disk is using VIA bus master PCI IDE and the distribution is a "vanilla" mandrake 8.1. I have a REALTEK RTL8029 Ethernet Adaptor. USB is with VIA VT83C572/VT82C586 PCI to VIA Universal Host controller. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
