With a session open, I opened a new session as root.  I immediately got a kde daemon crashed message causing a signal 8.  the crash handler box popped up repeatedly.  I went back to the original session and closed all the windows but the amorok player, and reopened a root session.  Again I got the repeated crash windows, which reported that there was no useable trace info.  During the second root session the music stopped playing and I lost control of the mouse. 

As it rebooted a there were a bunch of messages about clearing orphaned inodes.

 

Entering cat /proc/cpuinfo in a term, I get the usual stuff and a bunch of flags – fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow

I have no idea what any of those mean.

 

This is a 2006 community x86-64.  it had been cooker but just yesterday I switched and downloaded 160 packages.  At the time of the crash I had been copying music files from another harddrive onto the linux drive, which I had been able to do with out difficulty in the past. 

 

Also, when I tried to reboot into windows, it made it through the post routine and then all I got was half a screen of 99’s

 

Oh my.

 

I would appreciate any suggestions.  In particular where do I find out what the flag codes mean?
