hello everybody =),
About three months ago I decided to upgrade my desktop, in fact it was
more like buying a complete new one because I only kept the case and
the DVD-drive.
Anyway, my PC now contains an Athlon X2 4200+, a Samsung SP2504 250 GB
SATA2 harddisk and an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard.
As OS I chose Gentoo (obviously) 2006.0, and partitioned my hd as follow:
/dev/sda1 ext2 /boot 32mb
/dev/sda2 swap 512mb
/dev/sda3 ext3 / everything left
Took me much time to configure, but finally it was the way I wanted
it, accept for the fact that I had to use the acpi=off and noapic
parameters to get the kernel working.
So the system worked perfect every time until fsck started checking my
harddisk ("30 times mounted without being checked, check forced" In
the beginning everything seemed alright but at 18.7% the checking
freezed and a couple of minutes later fsck reported that my fs was
corrupted and that it couldn't be fixed "try fsck manually etc...." So
after this i did try fsck manually but everytime exact the same
story... I tried to mount the fs with the livecd but got an "can't
mount corrupted fs" (or something similar).
I couldn't figure out why this happened because everything worked
perfect and I hadn't done anything 'strange' with my pc. So, searched
google and various forums but couldn't find a solution to fix my fs,
so i formatted the complete disk and re-installed gentoo. Again, took
me a lot of time, but after all the work it worked even better then
the first time =).... well, at least until I had booted 30 times
without checking the filesystem. Fsck again began 'doing his job',
freezed at 18.7%, my filesystem was corrupted, couldn't mount it with
my live-cd etc.
This time I even had used my pc, just wanted to reboot, and at once my
filesystem was corrupted :S,
Well, I want to use Gentoo but i don't realy like the idea of spoiling
my weekend by installing an OS thats gonna stop working 30 times
booting later.
So, does anyone know whats wrong here and how i can prevent that it
happens again?
thanks =)
