Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After booting the system the root filesystem (ext3 located on a
logical volume) contained several files that gave I/O errors. The
system made a normal shutdown before.
$ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.18-3-686/nvidia/
insgesamt 0

This file was the first I detected because X was not starting anymore. A

revealed several other files.
After an fsck of the filesystem (which ended without errors)
everything at the next boot.
I would not report this if this were the first issue with the 2.6.18 linux
image. But this is the best documented case. One week ago the filesystem
was checked on bootup and found corrupt (which very rarely happens to me).
After manually starting fsck and rebooting similar symptoms (I/O
errors) occurred. I had to do second fsck run (always from an other
root partition) which again correct errors. After that run the files that
had I/O errors were gone. I reinstall the packages that contained them.
