Re: Sudden Power Loss (Resolution?)

[Percy Zahl <pzahl@bnl.gov>]

I also see this on my old TiBook G4/400. There is one bad thing I do  
have to avoid:
if I forget to unplug a PCMCIA-CF card adapter with a CF card, and  
close the lid for sleeping
it will immediately be "dead", i.e. like forced power off.
On restart I get a nice date of Jan  1st 1900 :-) it forces a disc  
check and all that fun to wait for
and all Gnome is messed up -- best to do is to boot strait into  
single user mode and manually
set the date and hwclock back to about "today" by date -s "106 years"  
and hwclock --systohc or such...

Still running a old 2.4.18 or 22 kernel, I never got the newer onces  
working any good on this machine.
Especially video... but did not tried for some time.
