After a lockup of X.org I couldn't use my keyboard anymore and I had to reset the computer. When it rebooted fsck didn't start immediately, but started after the login in the background. After some checks fsck stops working but stays a running process (in "getblk" state). Everything seems normal then but when I start X, after a while the system locks up again and I have to reset the machine again. If I don't start X but shutdown from the console it doesn't shut down because some "processes couldn't be killed", and the only option is to reset. Does anyone has an idea how I can repair my filesystems?
