I recently installed Debian Testing (Sarge kernel 2.4.27-i386) on an IBM Thinkcentre.
After several days running, the filesystem suddenly got corrupted. The symptoms were
that some binaries would not run. When I checked the logs, I remember seeing
"kernel: illegal seek or out of range errors". I vaguely remember. But my
impression was that the kernel could not read the partition. I turned off the PC and
tried rebooting but grub would no longer boot. LNX-BBC's fdisk can no longer recognise
any partition.
It has been a while since I researched on partition recovering tools. I would appreciate any new ones that you may have tried.
Have you tried gpart? How many partitions are there on the disk? If it's
only one partition which uses the entire disk, you can even use fdisk to
overwrite the old partition table with the new values. You could also do
that if you know the exact values for all of the partitions on the drive.
