Hello everbody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I was surfing the web when firefox suddenly closed and |
| 4 |
attempts at re-opening it failed with strange errors |
| 5 |
since forgotten. I decided to bail out of X and |
| 6 |
restart it; that failed with an I/O error on /dev/hdb4 |
| 7 |
where / resides. Couldn't do a shutdown; had to reset |
| 8 |
the box. Now I get a kernel panic - Cannot open root |
| 9 |
device "hdb4". |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Booted from install CD and ran dmesg: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
hdb: dma_intr: error 0x84 {DriveStatusError Bad CRC} |
| 14 |
dma_intr: status 0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete |
| 15 |
error} |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
a bunch of these ending with |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
ldm_validate_partition_table(): disk read failed. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
fdisk displays the partitions all right but attempts |
| 22 |
to mount /dev/hdb4 came up with, special device |
| 23 |
/dev/hdb4 does not exist. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
e2fsck: no such file, bad superblock |
| 26 |
tune2fs: couldn't find valid fs superblock |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Is my hard-drive toast? This is the same one you may |
| 29 |
recall I had so much trouble with a few months back. |
| 30 |
Will it be possible to fix? Or at least make readable? |
