Bug#527250: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: boot hangs on fsck with kernel 2.6.26-2-868

2009-05-07 Thread Steven Degrauwe
Today this problem reappeared. I directly restarted my system with the 
systemrescuecd to run e2fsck. No problems at all. So there is no corrupt 
superblock... And since it is not occurring with kernel 2.6.26-1, I believe 
it has something to do with kernel 2.6.26-2. I just can't see any pattern in 
the appearance of the problem.

Bug#527250: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: boot hangs on fsck with kernel 2.6.26-2-868

2009-05-06 Thread Steven Degrauwe
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
Version: 2.6.26-15
Severity: important


Hi,

I'm using Debian testing. Recently, my computer shows an error-message at boot, 
resulting in a stop of the boot-proces. Here's 
the message:

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 

This message refers to my hda2-partition. Here's an output of fstab:

#
proc/proc   procdefaults0   0
/dev/hda1   /   ext3errors=remount-ro 0   1
/dev/hda2   /home   ext3defaults0   2
/dev/hda3   noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/hdb/media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0

I also get the choise to continu the boot-proces by pressing ctrl+D. After 
that, everything works fine. I have the 
possibility to log on as root to give some mainentance-commands. But, the 
proposed command doesn't do anything, nor does the -p option with fsck.ext3.

When I restart the computer with kernel 2.6.26-1, everything is normal. I don't 
get any error-messages. This is 
/var/log/fsch/checkfs after a boot with 2.6.26-1:

fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
/dev/hda2: clean, 36983/3973120 files, 4149665/15868203 blocks

I tested my harddrive with smartmontools and it doenst give any problem.
This is also strange: It doesn't appear every time I boot with kernel 2.6.26-2, 
only in the minority of the cases.

Greetings
Steven
