Hi,
Shortly after system startup, something tried an "access beyond end of device" and left the filesystem on the root partition (/dev/sda3) in an strange state. Several files had future timestamps. Others were marked as block or character devices (marked with c, b or B). Unfortunatley /lib/libext2fs.so.2 was also marked as a block device, so the filesystem check aborted on the next reboot. When I tried to remove these files, I got a
rm: cannot unlink `libext2fs.so.2': Operation not permitted
Seems, the filesystem was severely broken.
Anyway, I have no hint what has caused the damage. The only remarkable things, I have done recently, were to install a new kernel, play around with the sound system and upgrade memory.
The box is an alpha, the system is Debian.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Martin
