lyx Bus Error...hardware?
I am having a frustrating problem installing and using lyx here at work and I
am wondering if it may be hardware, or software or what not. The story goes
like this:
On Friday I decided to install lyx on my system (see the histories below)
This is the latest lyx as apt-get got from frozen for me. It installed fine
and then I tired to run it, it went into its "you don't have a configuration
ill make one for you" and whirred away for a bit. Then before it even
came up with a window it said "Bus Error". Now I get a buss error every time I
try to run it.
I get he following when I try to run it (as seen in xconsole):
Jun 8 09:23:53 localhost kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady
SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Jun 8 09:23:53 localhost kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 {
UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=1412038, sector=1411975
Jun 8 09:23:53 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01, sector
1411975

This makes me think maybe a hardware error?
Here is the history of this system that might be helpful...
hardware:
it is a 486/66. It has 2 IDE hard drives (and only 1 IDE controller onboard)
Both drives are 810 MB.
On friday before last (end of may) We moved from one building to another here
at work. Being that we are the technicnas we had to move our own PCs,
during the trip the cart hit a bump and both of my PCs (this and the Win95
machine) fell over and took a good 3 foot fall to the ground, hitting the
concreat.
Software:
This system was originally bo...was upgraded to hamm before the freeze. It was
originally setup strictly for CD mastering of debian CDs for home (made CD
images to be burned elseware)
When attempting to make room for a new CD image I deleted tome directories I
shouldn't have...including everything under /usr/X11R6 (since atthat time I was
not using X)
I decided later to use X..and had a hell of a time installing it, dpkg
was not happy. (for a few files I even had to edit the dpkg database to tell
it they were not installed) Yes I know this was stupid to do...it was
before I was fully converted to dpkg.
I wish to salvage this machine if I can, I would rathe rnot re-install debian,
but if I have to I have to. Any ideas? what could cause the buss error in lyx?
