Today while my S.O. was using Netscape 3.0b4, it croaked along with apparantly an Oops or two. Following which no 'screen's or logins could be created. I happened to be logged in from a remote system and I experienced the same thing with the majority of commands I tried to use (ps, top, w, rlogin, etc.). Each one would dump with "Segmnetation fault".
The Oopsies all got dumped to the syslog and from the ones I saw they were "General protection Faults" generated each time pretty much any command was executed.
I proceeded to 'halt' which seemed to start but it didn't finish as I had errors galore on the root device (/dev/sda) upon rebooting. I had to manually go in and clean-up with e2fsck from another root device afterwards. The result of that is that I lost all the kernel Oops'ies that got logged. :-/
My system is a Pentium 120 w/ 64mb of RAM, two EIDE drives (DOS, /home) and one SCSI-2 (/) using an AHA-2940UW. I've not had any problems with any other kernels in the 2.0.x releases and its probably the first Oops I've experienced since the pre1.99.x kernels.
I got the system back-up but I'm not sure how long it is going to stay that way. It had been up for about a day and a half before these problems started to occur.
I only wish I still had the Oops to show.
Greg.
