I think there is a bug in RH 6.2, because I constantly have to e2fsck the RH 6.2 partition using RH 6.1. e2fsck wont fix the ext2 partition upon boot. I previously did it from a RH 6.1 system successfully. I dont know what is wrong, but rhe system continues to freeze and the only solution is to hardware reset the computer. Now my RH 6.2 wont even start up after I manaully did the e2fsck process. RH 6.2 is BAD BAD BAD !! regards John
Do you get any error messages? What sort of problems is the fsck finding?
The RH 6.2 system often dies without ANY error messages. Upon next boot e2fsck starts to repair the damaged filesystem, but the system freezes again after finishing 99,7 percent of the e2fsck process. What is wrong ? regards John
We can't reproduce this here with any of our machines. First, try the errata kernel RPM; if you have a PIII, that could conceivably fix your problem. Aside from that, it sounds like you might have some flaky memory or similar hardware problems.
The problem seems to disappear when I upgrade the system to a newer kernel. Yes, I have a PIII. I have tested the memory extensively with no errors found. Regards John
