At some instance (surfing in the web,.. nothing horrible) the screen froze and the only thing I was able to do, was pressing the power button 4seconds to shut the computer down. I was never able to boot my system since then. It sayed always things like: Not able to find root file system (or likewise) So I plugged in my live-cd to recover the whole thing... But I wasn't able to mount the root partition, so I tried e2fsck, which turned out to find a whole lot of errors and told me that it corrected them. Thus I retried to mount the file system, which resulted in an big error of mount, saying something about Kernel BUG (?!?) At that point I realized that this could become a major problem for me, since all my personal data is on my root partition (I know, I should't do that...but thats the way things are right now) I used dd to make a copy of this partition to an external hard disk, and begun to recover it from there. dd gave no errors as it copied the partition, so I think this is no hardware failure I rerun e2fsck on the partition, it corrected a little more, but after that, it didn't found anything new, but I still wasn't able to mount the partition (nor the partition dump) The crutial part of the dmesg output seems to be: Assertion failure in cleanup_journal_tail() at fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:430: "blocknr != 0" Is this a known issue with ext3 filesystems? Thaks in andvance for any help, Carsten PS: Please tell me if you need more information -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
