I seem to have killed my system.... one day, out of the blue (as far as I can tell, I don't think I changed anything critical) my computer started to slow down to a crawl.... I then noticed that the httpd was running about 100 times when I typed 'ps -ax'. On the console, everything was fine, but from the outside is was very slow, even from another computer on the same local network. Then before the weekend, it decided to completly hang up, & now when anything connects to it, it just sits there, no login prompt, or webpage. & the console is acting Very strange in that after it gets pas the error saying that '/ was not dismounted properly' the screen will freeze, but it continues to boot the rest of the way to the prompt. I just can't see it. If after it finishes booting (checked by trying to telnet in, & it just sits instead of refusing the connection) I switch V-consoles with alt-2... ect, & switch back, I can see what I typed. But to see what I type again, I have to switch over then back. & if I try switching v-consoles while it's booting it locks up while puting out one long endless beep. & last, I can't shut it down properly, it will just lock up when I type reboot, fastboot, shutsown, ect... & if I hit anything it gives me the NeverEnding Beep. I'm about to just reinstall everything if I can get my user dirs & important data backed up first. Or is there anything I can do, without restarting from scratch? Thanks in advance.
