Bug#290418: kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686-smp: I have an SATA disc driven by this kernel which has acquired a large number of fsck errors
Package: kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686-smp
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The system is an Intel 865 MB with video and networking. I have three
PATA and one SATA disc. Despite the system not having had power fails or
any hardware failures, the SATA disc has become badly corrupted, with
serious loss of data, such that fsck reported it needed to be run
manually. Running fsck manually reported several hundred errors, and has
resulted in around 40 files and at least one directory in lost+found.
Other symptoms noticed include very slow ls performance if the disc is
otherwise in use (order of seconds if not minutes to complete), and data
which appears to change after it has supposedly been written. I would
like to move to a later kernel, however, 2.6.8 does not even boot on
this hardware, which appears to be a known bug.
