From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13 i686) Description of problem: I ran the installer for 7.2 on a working version of 7.1. After the upgrade, certain apps wouldn't work, such as nautilis. At this point it sometimes comes up but won't connect to http urls. I noticed however, that some directories, including $HOME/bin and $HOME/ns_mail are corrupt. When I execute `ls bin` I get: ls: bin: Input/output error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot up 2. type `ls bin` 3. view error Actual Results: ls: bin: Input/output error Expected Results: the contents of bin should have been listed Additional info: The hardware is a Dell Inspiron 8000.
Sounds like a kernel problem, or a problem with your HW. What's the output of dmesg?
Similar problem here; Dell Inspiron 8000 (laptop) with IBM harddisk. After installing 7.2 (clean install, *not* an upgrade) weird filesystem problems: Suddenly, the gnome programs-menu disappeared. Investigation revealed that /usr/share/gnome/apps could not be accessed: [root@laptop gnome]# pwd /usr/share/gnome [root@laptop gnome]# ls apps ls: apps: Input/output error [root@laptop gnome]# ls -l apps ls: apps: Input/output error Though the file/dir/whatever exists since 'ls /usr/share/gnome' shows 'apps'. dmesg: hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: drive not ready for command This error appears only once. kernel 2.4.7-10 hda: IBM-DJSA-220
Here is the output of dmesg, although I must say, it didn't corrupt anything on that last boot as far as I can tell.
