[debian-knoppix] hd corruption
Hi,
I have installed Knoppix 20/1/2003 twice on my hd - and both times,
after a couple of days, the hd partitions have become corrupted, and
knoppix has refused to boot.
The second time, I think my win98 partition was also corrupted - not
fatally, but an unusually large amount of mb was being used.
I am not sure whether this is a hardware problem - scandisk doesn't
report any problems, Knoppix from cd identified everything correctly,
but I've had a very difficult time trying to install Linux, and Knoppix
was the first to actually work. (Red Hat 8 and Mandrake 9 seemed to
install, but both stalled on booting, after the message
Freeing unused kernal memory
{Mandrake:] 136k freed
[Red hat: 212kb freed]
I'm using an AJP (generic) laptop, from circa 1999, 10gb hd, 128k ram,
Celeron 500mhz.
The question in a nutshell: has anyone had similar problems with hd
corruption?
If it is a bug, it is pretty serious - but is it likely to be one?
As I say, I can't rule out a hardware problem.
John
