sounds like a video card or APM/ACPI problem. i would suggest further troubleshooting in this area, but i'm not the expert on "White Screens of Death" OTOH, it could have something to do with your IDE controller (but i find that hard to believe myself...) what's the specs on an Inspiron 8000? Video card? RAM? Processor? these may give you a good clue. another suggestion, after you have figured out all of your hardware is to compile the latest kernel (not sure what cRudHat 7.1 has...). the video card driver may be the key here, but it seems to be affecting wierd things... ah well, i tried my best. good luck! -----Original Message----- From: Rob Hudson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 1:02 PM To: EUGLUG Subject: [EUG-LUG:2515] Fwd: Redhat 7.1 on Dell Inspiron 8000 ----- Forwarded message from Tad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Tad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 12:32:02 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Redhat 7.1 on Dell Inspiron 8000 ** This message was sent from the EUGLUG message board.

I was at the meeting Thursday and Mike was able to get Redhat 7.1 installed on my machine. Problem is, the screen goes totally white when I shut down like its crashing. This has happened a few times on windows 2000, usually when I was running the Photo editing program that came with it, (the machine runs the trial version of Adobe Photoshop just fine) and thing to do is to turn it off. When I restart, it boots as far as "checking root file system" then displays "contains a file system with errors, check forced./:Inode 18728 has illegal block(s) unexpected inconsistency, run fsck manually(i.e.) without -a or -p options." Then "an error occurred during the file check. Dropping you to a shell;" etc. What do I do? [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- End forwarded message -----
