I recently was forced to reboot linux using the reboot button (that
sounds wrong). After the reboot my zip drive would not work, when the
kernel was loading SCSI support their was a Null exception of some kind
(i think null pointer) followed by a OOPs (and a number) the ppa module
was listed as being uninitialised. A dmesg showed an error message a
screen long.
This continued for two boots, then I had a blackout (power outage) and
the pc went down before i got to it. When I rebooted the error was gone
and the zip worked (this is why the above description is vague)
My questions are
1. What happened ?
2. Does linux fix itself ?
3. what would cause the kernel to be corrupted ?
