[newbie] Comp shutdown looses / and /var
I seem to have a heat problem with a 750mhz Duron. It may be the power supply or the cpu not sure, but believe it to be the cpu. Anyway the lm_sensors shows a 60c in the case I think and when I am gone and it sits for a while it will reboot. I then can rescue, it seems to have lost the / partition and /var I think. It is possible to remount them. I recovered the system by doing an upgrade to get the partitions back but do not understand why the / and /var are lost. Any tutorials or explanations are appreciated. Thanks, -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
