Just HOW BAD is an ungraceful shutdown? I.e., when somebody just hits the power switch? Besides forcing an fsck, would fsck tell me if some file were corrupted?
BTW, I'm having the 'XX interrupt' problem on boot-up as well, coinciding with syslogd. I added the ';;' to the default case, but that didn't do it. Also, starting and stopping syslogd from the command line with the same switches didn't cause the message. I'm guessing, then, that it's a BASH 2.0 problem? But then, switching the order of syslogd & klogd didn't change things; syslogd still triggered it. I'm afraid that's about the limit of my analytical ability with Linux without doing a LOT more reading. (heck, I wasn't even sure if switching the order was a Bad Thing.) -- David L.
