Did you update your kernel and initscripts packages? If not, do so ASAP. What do you mean buy that ? I have done a new installation ! (Mandrake 6.0). In fact I have installed Mandrake at least three times from scratch, and got it corrupted each time ! Khalid

Installing the latest kernel and initscripts package from the updates directory of our ftp server fixes them. LLaP bero

Check for Updates in http://www.linux-mandrake.com/ You must update if you don't want to install from scratch again
Re: [newbie] Filesystem gets badly corrupted !
I had a similar experience with Mandrake 6.0. The root partition or whatever you call it just crashed all to pieces. I read that you must use fsck on /root with a boot disk or rescue disk. I used the rescue disk that I made when I installed Mankdrake 6.0. I followed instructions on the screen and kept typing "yes" as it queried me. It fixed everything. This is on a home-made computer with an AMD k6-2 400 cpu and a Diamond C200 motherboard. --- Khalid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi To all I have just installed Mandrake 6.0 on an IBM Thinkpad 1400. KDE freeze too often, I always need to reboot, but at boot time Linux tells me that the file system is corrupted and that I need to run a fsck. fsck tells ma that I have lost many inodes, alas these are often important KDE files, so my install gets totaly corrupted, I also loose the last files I have created, and the last modifications too. I have done some search in Dejanews and found other peoples which have the same proble with a Mandrake 6.0, although I am not sure this is a specific a Mandrake Problem. I thought Linux was rock solid, I was really tired about lots data and crash in Windowz, but now I must admit I am really scared ! As a side note, I must add that I have a Mandrake 5.2 Installed on an other computer a Pentinum 120, and never experienced such problems. So this might be a Linux 2.2 problem too ?
