hi list, I am using RedHat 9 (2.4.20-8) in my HP Proliant ML150 (Intel 7501, Xeon 2.4 G,512 MB RAM) machine. I am struggled hard to install. The installation went wrong many times. I don'd know why? I am installing from the NFS server. Then atlast everything worked. I finished installing(With RAID1). After doing all my configs(qmail, apache,php, nfs etc), all of a sudden the system hang. capslock and scroll lock LEDs start blinking. Couldn't do anything and switched off the syste. After i restart it went into maintenance mode. All the partitions were corrupted. I couldn't retrive any of the information. Then i reinstalled the system without RAID. Again, same problem. but this time the system could recover the partitions and started. When i checked the logs i saw this: Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: VM: killing process kdeinit Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap offset entry 409ee800 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap offset entry 40a1f600 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 last message repeated 2 times Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 35343432 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 36303030 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 39393730 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202030 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20314120 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 31393420 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 40fe5160 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap offset entry 409ee800 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap offset entry 40a1f600 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 last message repeated 2 times Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 35343432 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 36303030 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Jul 9 22:48:16 proliant1 kernel: swap_free: Bad swap file entry 20202020 Googled and found nothing. where should i search for help.
