Hi everyone,
I got a tremendous problem here.
I shut down my MDK8.1 perfectly, but when I restarted it, it says I have a
corrupted filesystem that needs to be checked. Sometimes the checking doesn't
pass and I have to do fsck in maintenance. This time the rc.d files are
corrupted and I can't
hi karine,
i've seen similar things on our hardware. most of the time the problem
was bios-related stuff (bios in general, dma-settings, prefetch-modes,
...) and almost everytime the problems went away by either disabling dma
(ouch, that hurts, i know) using hdparm or by upgrading buggy bioses.
Karine,

would be running a memory checker very intensively before installing
again. There was a thread on these a few days ago, either here or on

Sometimes it hangs at the IO-APIC test and

The problems will probably be the same in XP. Since IRQ's are assigned to
