This very much sound like a hardware problem. Have you tried: 1) resetting the bios? 2) disabling cool'n'quiet in the bios? 3) changing memory DIMM around (weirdly enough since the MB booklet disagreed, i've fixed an issue like that) 4) running memtest86?
There could be more...but that's a start. -Pascal On 4/3/07, marie s <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I just tried to install etch from dvd on an AMD64 system and after the install, things have begun to go very badly .... system has been working fine for a day, but today dselect exited with an error about corrupt /var/cache files, and when I rebooted with the DVD, the debian installer said that the dvd (all 3 of them!) were corrupt. But since the "corruption" was reported in different files every time I ran the test, I decided to look closely at the system. Trying to check the partitions wtih e2fsck caused the system to lock up, I get kernel panics randomly when I reboot, and now most applications segfault on me. I don't even know where to begin to try to fix this. I can't install new software, I can't run most applications, I have no idea what could be wrong. But I know that I get these problems pretty steadily today, whether booting from the hard drives or the rescue dvd. Could this be a hardware issue? Anything I can do to debug the problem? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Yahoo!
