Hi!
First I must say I have not sent anythink like that to LKML yet, but gonna do my best to give as much and as good information as I can.
Background: I am using Debian unstable/SID. Because of some problems it sometimes shutsdown uncleanly - after logiing out from GNOME computer just freezes. It is unstable, normally I am using NVidia binary driver and VMware binary kernel modules so I wasn't surprised by this.
But I also use ReiserFS on LVM (only root is outside LVM), so I _was_ surprised when filesystem related problems came up.
It was so bad I had to use fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree on unmounted partitions in single user mode.
Problem: Today I was doing dist-upgrade - it froze my computer. I *disabled loading all binary modules*, restarted my machine and run the process again. Below You can see what it caused:
Configuring bison (1.31-2)... vs-7050: new entry is found, new inode == 0 invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<d081c239>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010286 eax: 0000002f ebx: d082bea0 ecx: ffffe061 edx: c4aea000 esi: sffe8000 edi: ffffffef ebp: c4aebf0c esp: c4aebcec ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process update-alternat (pid: 542, stacpage = c4aeb000) Stack: d082d79a d0831b20 d082bea0 c4aebd10 c4a129a0 caebdd8 d0812299 cffe8000 d082bea0 c4a12a1c c4a12a1c c4a129a0 c49ac060 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 d08301cf 00000000 00000039 00013850 Calltrace: [<d082d79a>] [<d0831b20>] [<d082bea0>] [<d0812299>] [<d082bea0>] [<d08301cf>] [<d0828baf>] [<c013cd99>] [<c013cf96>] [<c0106f43>]

the 10th line of the script is just "fi"
Other stuff: I am also getting strange errors like denying access to some files while doing ls on a directory content - as root of course.
System data: kernel 2.4.18-pre3 with latest LVM patch and latest kernel preemtion patch (as of 15.I.2002)
Own thoughts: I think that's all. Just wanna say I a bit dissapointed with reiserfs. When installing it (took me 2 days to do the transition from lilo, ext2 to grub, LVM and ReiserFS ;-) I thought it is meant to be immune against system crashes and power failures.
Now gotta go into single user mode now and --rebuild-tree again on every each partition... Maybe anyone has a better idea ?
I will be glad to see any responses, please Cc: them to me if You please ( mailto:greg@sente.pl ) - or give me an address of any _live_ LKML news gateway.
Best regards Grzegorz Prokopski
