Hi everybody, My 3.1 FreeBSD system has run well for some time but this morning I sat down to my machine and it had crashed during the night. I saw that it had run fsck fine. I logged in and got xwindows running with no problems until I tried to run one of the programs that the machine was running at the crash (rc5 proj). Instant crash of the whole system. Rebooted and deleted the rc5 program and tried to run my other program (make of java1.1.7) Crashed my whole system. Rebooted again and fsck was starting to find lots of problems. Kicked out of the boot and said to run fsck manually. I did and it fixed some block problems. Went into xwindows and tried to run netscape. Crash out of xwindows. Tried to restart xwindows and crashed the whole system. When I rebooted some times i get a huge crash right after boot up with the error of the pager. So I am now booting kernel.old and running fcsk to find out what is crapping things out. It keeps just saying disk dirty rerun fsck. I have done that now 6 times. What do I need to do to start stabilizing my system? I am afraid to start anything do to it might just hose my system and that would hurt:) Let me know what more details you want. thnxs From the desk of Brian Bell or (602) 231-0918 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
