I tried posting this a couple of days ago, but I never saw it show up on the list. I think the list was down at the time, and my email didn't make it, but I apologize in advance if this message shows up twice. Last weekend, I did the 6.2 -> 7.0 upgrade on one of my computers (Dell Inspiron 3200 laptop). I had no problems for several days, including a half dozen or so system 'halts'. Then I got this (on the console screen), after I issued a 'halt' command: The system is going down for a system halt NOW! swap_free: swap_space map bad (entry 0020000) [this message repeated 4x] free_one_pmd: bad directory entry 0020000 [this message repeated 20-30x] swap_free: swap_space map bad (entry 0020000) [this message repeated 9x] free_one_pmd: bad directory entry 0020000 [this message repeated 20-30x] warning. bad magic number for tty struct (05:01) in release_dev The system hung at this point. I tried switching to another virtual console to login, but I couldn't. So after about 5 min, I did a manual power-off/power-on. When the system came back up, I got this error message (not surprising, since the previous shutdown was aborted; note: /dev/hda5 mounts as /, /dev/hda6 mounts as swap -- these are the only linux partitions on this system): /dev/hda5 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced inode 162632 w/zero dtime: FIXED After this startup, and through several startup/shutdown cycles since, I have had no problems (every 'halt' since has gone smoothly). Can anyone tell me what happened here? Does this sound like a hadrware or a software problem? -- Larry Grover, PhD Assoc Prof of Physiology Marshall Univ Sch Med _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
