Hi all, Sorry for the repost. If I should be asking somewhere else please tell me where. I woke up a few days ago to find this on one of my machines. Below is hopefully the revelent output from dmesg and /var/log/messages. I have had this b4 but this is the first time I have been able to get any useful information from it. The machine usually locks and all I see is the assertion failure on the console. This is a stock 7.2 system with all revelant updates. FWIW this appears to have happened about the time the cron.daily stuff ran (logrotate updatedb etc). The machine has been up for approx 36 days. Not sure what other info to provide so if I missed something please let me know. Can someone please tell me what this means?? Is there enough info to tell what happened here? ############################### Begin dmesg ####################################### Output from dmesg: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 okir@monad.swb.de). hdc: timeout waiting for DMA ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } hdd: DMA disabled hdc: drive not ready for command ide1: reset: success EXT3-fs error (device ide1(22,65)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #2665467: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=762621470, rec_len=44574, name_len=110 Assertion failure in journal_bmap_Rbbdc8009() at journal.c:602: "ret != 0" ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at journal.c:602! invalid operand: 0000 Kernel 2.4.9-31 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c8805368>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010286 EIP is at journal_bmap_Rbbdc8009 [jbd] 0x58 eax: 0000001d ebx: 00000000 ecx: c02af5c4 edx: 00001f06 esi: c3a7f640 edi: 00000000 ebp: c45c5800 esp: c71ffe50 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process kjournald (pid: 148, stackpage=c71ff000) Stack: c88093af 0000025a c45c5800 c88052ff c45c5800 000014ed c45c5800 c880538b c45c5800 c3a7f640 c8802811 c45c5800 c45c58e4 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 c5583aa0 c20a2960 c0b87640 000000f0 c1498ae0 c033ab9c c019f880 Call Trace: [<c88093af>] __insmod_jbd_S.rodata_L96 [jbd] 0x285f [<c88052ff>] log_wait_commit_R6c342301 [jbd] 0xcf [<c880538b>] journal_bmap_Rbbdc8009 [jbd] 0x7b [<c8802811>] journal_flushpage_R40b21025 [jbd] 0xa21 [<c019f880>] do_rw_disk [kernel] 0x150 [<c011317e>] schedule [kernel] 0x26e [<c8804e3b>] journal_revoke_R67623458 [jbd] 0x5eb [<c8804d10>] journal_revoke_R67623458 [jbd] 0x4c0 [<c0105726>] kernel_thread [kernel] 0x26 [<c8804d30>] journal_revoke_R67623458 [jbd] 0x4e0 Code: 0f 0b 59 58 eb 04 89 f6 89 c3 89 d8 5b c3 8d 76 00 8d bc 27 ############################ END OF DMESG ################################ Output from /var/log/messages: Apr 25 04:35:53 kanga syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
