Well, it is at it again. Second boot of the day I got the same error I got a 6 days ago: "Error 16: Inconsistent file system structure. Press any key to continue." A key press gets me to the menu of OS versions. On choosing the usual (12.04) I get partway into the Ubuntu startup, then a black screen with a flashing cursor. ^ALT DEL soon produces the msg. "Busybox v 1.18.5 (Ubuntu1:1.18.5-1ubuntu 4.1) built-in shell (ash)" "Enter help for a list of built-in commands" Prompt is (initramfs). I enter exit. Then I get the kernel panic messages. (They are identical to those I got the last time.
This time I used e2fsck -fvp /dev/sda1 from the Ubuntu 12.04 live CD. No errors found. Then I ran the smart self-test in palimpsest (a gui). It took two hours, but found nothing wrong, as far as I can tell from the report. System seems fine at the moment. Short of a new computer, any ideas?
