a few problems following a crash



Hello,

My hamm system crashed the other day when the processor fan died.

I didn't observe any unusual output during the fsck on the subsequent
reboot--just a few inodes that were fixed and a few insignificant files
(all mail messages) were placed in /lost+found.

But now xdm doesn't come up, and I get a slew of the following messages
when I do a dmesg listing:


attempt to access beyond end of device
08:03: rw=0, want=2147460425, limit=405504
attempt to access beyond end of device
08:03: rw=0, want=2147460427, limit=405504
attempt to access beyond end of device
08:03: rw=0, want=2147460425, limit=405504
    .
    .

attempt to access beyond end of device
08:03: rw=0, want=2147460427, limit=405504


Seems like something similar was posted to this list a while back,
but I can't remember what the problem or solution was.

My /var/log/xdm-errors file looks like:

Any suggestions would be well appreciated.  Thanks.
