But I don't recall seeing any indication of /when/ that message appeared in your logs, so it could be unrelated... So, let's look at the other errors you've found: > <------------------------------------------------------------------> > Dec 25 23:34:09 ibmLinux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module > char-major-188 > <------------------------------------------------------------------> > > Don't know what char-major-188 is. You can find out using the command: $ ls -l /dev |grep '188,' crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Aug 30 19:31 ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 1 Aug 30 19:31 ttyUSB1 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 10 Aug 30 19:31 ttyUSB10 ... So, as you can see, char-major-188 corresponds to the USB serial devices. This should be unrelated to your problem. Even if your mouse is a USB mouse, it shouldn't be using those... USB mice generally use /dev/input/mouse* devices. > Some lines later there seems to be the real prob: > > <------------------------------------------------------------------> > Dez 25 23:34:26 ibmLinux gdm[1455]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: > Schwerwiegender X-Fehler - :0 wird erneut gestartet This could well be a problem, but I don't read German. :) > Dec 25 23:34:26 ibmLinux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module > char-major-10-134 This is for the apm bios driver. Your /lib/modules/<kernelvers> directory may have some corruption as a result of your power failure. Did you see the system do the fsck after the power failure? Do you remember if it reported anything unusual? look in the directory /lost+found on your system... are there files in there? What sort of mouse are you using? I no longer have the message where you posted snippets of your XF86Config file... Can you re-post the section that contains your mouse configuration? If you have bad filesystem corruption (and presumably you're not doing system backups), then the easiest thing to do might be to re-install the system. Be sure not to reformat partitions that contain your data, like /home or maybe /usr/local, or whatever... If these aren't seperate partitions, you may want to consider making them seperate partitions, because it makes recovering from this kind of problem much easier. If you do have to reformat them, be sure to copy your important data somewhere so it can be restored after you re-install the system. - -- Derek D.
