Anyway, my PC now contains an Athlon X2 4200+, a Samsung SP2504 250 GB SATA2 harddisk and an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard. As OS I chose Gentoo (obviously) 2006.0, and partitioned my hd as follow: /dev/sda1 ext2 /boot 32mb /dev/sda2 swap 512mb /dev/sda3 ext3 / everything left Took me much time to configure, but finally it was the way I wanted it, accept for the fact that I had to use the acpi=off and noapic parameters to get the kernel working. So the system worked perfect every time until fsck started checking my harddisk ("30 times mounted without being checked, check forced" In the beginning everything seemed alright but at 18.7% the checking freezed and a couple of minutes later fsck reported that my fs was corrupted and that it couldn't be fixed "try fsck manually etc...." So after this i did try fsck manually but everytime exact the same story... I tried to mount the fs with the livecd but got an "can't mount corrupted fs" (or something similar). I couldn't figure out why this happened because everything worked perfect and I hadn't done anything 'strange' with my pc. So, searched google and various forums but couldn't find a solution to fix my fs, so i formatted the complete disk and re-installed gentoo. Again, took me a lot of time, but after all the work it worked even better then the first time =).... well, at least until I had booted 30 times without checking the filesystem. Fsck again began 'doing his job', freezed at 18.7%, my filesystem was corrupted, couldn't mount it with my live-cd etc. This time I even had used my pc, just wanted to reboot, and at once my filesystem was corrupted :S, Well, I want to use Gentoo but i don't realy like the idea of spoiling my weekend by installing an OS thats gonna stop working 30 times booting later. So, does anyone know whats wrong here and how i can prevent that it happens again? thanks =) -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
