Userspace apps can't write directly to kernel RAM, but if you are using buggy kernel driver, or driver compiled from wrong kernel configuration, anything can happen.

Mounting the file system or running fsck.ext3 should replay the journal. > With regard to the data partition it would be an idea to just mount it > readonly when starting openGL games. Mounting it read-only may help, but something is seriusly wrong with your box. This crash happened twice, correct? IMO, correct fix is stop using such crashing drivers or upgrade/recompile them to better match your kernel config. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
