The kernel in question is 2.6.9, with reiser4-for-2.6.9-2: I noticed it first when my kernel, basically -cko3 with reiser4 replaced with the new version, hung when I tried to install iconbar of enlightenment on my Debian box, with x.org taken from Ubuntu. It hung on trying to get the list of files for xorg-common, and with debugging it panicked. I did an mv on the file and tried to reinstall xorg-common, but it didn't help. It had a file called xorg-common.list-new which I tried to open with less but that process died as well. (Uninterruptible Sleep D+) I have the logs here: http://mjt.nysv.org/reiser/2004.12.06.forensics/ In the first file I had renamed the list file and cat on that triggered the panic, after which I rebooted just fine. In the second file I did dpkg -i three times (my comments are there, and I didn't write the entire file name of xorg-common) The third file is me fooling around and addiong comments to the netconsole output as I go along until the system panicked and needed a power-button boot. What I'm puzzled about is why this comes for different programs? Is my physical fs on the disk broken? I'd appreciate a prompt answer, so I can fsck my computer as fast as possible if that's needed... Spatsibo and thanks! -- mjt
