Hi Guys,
My first post here. I have recently installed RH9 and am having some rather
wierd problems that make me suspect file corruption. After some useage the
machine locked up hard when trying to use 3d graphics (I have a radeon 7200 with
dri enabled). After this happened occasionally the system refuses to boot- it
stops at the apm line of the kernel boot process. I tried looking at my hard
disks (scsi seagates) with e2fsck and nothing showed up. I also did a scan using
seagates st tool and again everything looks fine. I then tried reinstalling RH9
and checked the check badblocks option. It then failed and said that my /
filesystem (dev/sdb1) had badblocks. I reinstalled without checking for
badblocks and the system refused to boot (again failing at the apm line). I left
it overnight and this morning it decided to boot. Is this likely a hardware or
software issue and if it is the latter is there a heavy duty disc scrubber to
ensure a fresh RH install? Any help much appreciated!!
