[SMAUG] Bad HD?

[David Correa]

Hello (again),

(first) I meant to say "bad sector on the HD" (or something like that) i
don't think the HD is 100% bad.

(then) I notice that the syslog mentions "device ide1" but Linux is on /dev/hdc2:

Aug 17 04:02:04 onix kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide1(22,2)): ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory #113706: rec_len %% 4 != 0 -
offset=140, inode=113711, rec_len=25, name_len=13
Aug 17 04:02:04 onix kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide1(22,2)): ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory #470537: rec_len %% 4 != 0 -


the "kernel BUG at exit.c:465!" is interesting, since this happens
with 2.4.2-2 (rh), 2.4.7 and 2.4.8 (custom .config).
i fist noticed the problem after i changed to 2.4.8, so i went back to test with the other 2 kernels and the problem
still happens. The total effect is the computer freezes with no response form keyboard or pings.
