| |
(system info: Mandrake 6.0, kernel 2.2.12, i686 200MHz, 128M RAM, all SCSI)
Friday am my system became completely hung requiring me to hit the reset button. Unfortunately I was the cause - killed the pid for X instead of Netscape. Anyway, once the machine came backup I logged in and started X. I noticed that asclock had disappeared. Checking the boot log I saw that many "deleted inode" messages had come up while booting. Anyway, I rebuilt asclock and went on. Later in the day I noticed that X had quit - actually crashed. I noticed console messages indicating X had lost connectivity to the display (0.0).
After a bit of troubleshooting and blaming one thing or another, I have realized that the system is crashing whenever it wants, but X crashes consistently within starting it. The system itself may still run for several hours. I managed to capture the following message during this past crash:
Aiee, killing interrupt handler Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill the idle task! Interrupt handler - not syncing
I am working on implementing a "disaster recovery" type restore, but if anyone has any ideas how I can keep the system stable while I restore /usr, please let me know!
