hi karine, i've seen similar things on our hardware. most of the time the problem was bios-related stuff (bios "in general", dma-settings, prefetch-modes, ...) and almost everytime the problems went away by either disabling dma (ouch, that hurts, i know) using hdparm or by upgrading buggy bioses.
did you ever check /var/log/messages to see, if the kernel reports some problems with your harddrives? udo Am Mon, 2002-03-18 um 11.36 schrieb Karine ZUERCHER: > Hi everyone, > > I got a tremendous problem here. > I shut down my MDK8.1 perfectly, but when I restarted it, it says I have a > corrupted filesystem that needs to be checked.
