Hello everyone, The hard disk of my 4-year-old laptop is starting to fail. I ran fsck.ext3 -c on my root partition yesterday and a few blocks were marked as damaged. The blocks contained some XFCE4 theme files, so I thought that reinstalling the relevant package should be enough. Now, however, the machine hangs every time I start powernowd. Kernel emergency key presses (Alt+SysRq+?) don't work and the usual log files don't contain any relevant information. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the powernowd package, but it didn't help; note also that fsck did not signal any damaged files belonging to powernowd.
Can anyone help me sort this out? Could it be that fsck -c did not mark some blocks as damaged because I ran it with the root partition mounted read-only (as opposed to unmounted)? Thanks in advance for the attention! Davide -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
