Hi, First, forgive me if this doesn't come through devoid of html. I'm normally a mutt user, but I'm trying evolution. We'll see how it goes. I'm on a $.%-STABLE system, and I've been experiencing some disk errors; I did an fsck -y on the slice where /usr lives. (I forgot it was /usr when I did this.) Since then, I've received various "program terminated with signal 10. Bus error." problems. Examples are vim and xinit. As you can imagine, I'm eager to fix this so I can get X back. Looking at the core files left behind by X and by vim, I see the following: *** snip *** GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software ... blah blah ... This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd" ... (no debugging symbols found)... Core was generated by 'vim'. Program terminated with signal 10. Bus error.

Here's for xinit: *** snip *** GNU gdb 4.18 blah blah blah Core was generated by 'xinit'. Program terminated with signal 10. Bus error. Reading symbols from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6...

Notes: this problem is about 48 hours old. So far I've tried remaking ld-elf.so.1 from /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf and copying ld-elf.so.1 from /usr/obj/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf to /usr/libexec/, but even from single user runlevel, this was not allowed. I've thought about remaking the system, but I'm thinking that if ld-elf.so is broken, things probably wouldn't make correctly for a new system. Am I wrong on that? I've also thought about reinstalling a binary distribution on top of all this (upgrade from a new 4.8-stable CD), but that's an even bigger risk, I would think. So, what would you gurus do? What should be my next step for trying to salvage my system here? TIA! -- David S. Jackson <deepbsd@earthlink.net>
