I've had a similar kind of behaviour (ext3 getting corrupted over time, eventually package management getting messed up etc) on a Dell Latitude D830. According to observations in the above bug report, the issue appears to be related to ICH8/ICH9 chipset families. In my case, lspci gives 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA IDE Controller (rev 02) -- 64-bit jaunty has frequent filesystem corruption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is the registrant for Jaunty Jackalope Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
