Since the update to the 2.6.23.1-21.fc7 kernel, I have been getting weird errors on the disk (see attached). Fedora's stock kernels use the new driver exclusively. Disk action never recovers - maybe Ctrl_alt_Backspace or Ctrl_alt_del restores unfreezes. Switch off otherwise. While these are going on, chaos reigns on the disk. E2fsck passes were required. Now lost+found on hda3 (Fedora 7) is 41 Megs! The disk and partition have been in use for less than 2 months. The other partitions are fine, The disk is an ST380215A 80Gig configured sda1: Common boot sda2:swap sda3: Fedora 7 / Now with 41 Megs in lost+found sda4 extended partition sda5 Fedora 7 /home. sda6 fc5 sda7 hlfs-20051220 sda8, 9 : Kevux installations in various states. I'm blaming software, and, to put it in Royal parlance, I am 'Not amused'. The box has an Athlon 2.6Ghz, 1 gig of ram, Via Kt-400 chipset & old nvidia card - the sort they give away in breakfast cereal boxes (MX-440) This problem is worst in X, with firefox running. Most of that is now in lost+found, including /usr/lib/firefox<version>. X starts but gnome is hosed (black screen, a couple of lifeless icons pointing at files which have found their way to lost+found). Wine is also awol Is this a known issue? Where do I report it?
