Hi Jon, Thanks for your quick answer. The minor problems were bugs previously reported (application crashes, true or false, etc.).
The problem is reproduced also with ext3. I have updated the description. No I have never had media issues with this laptop. I was running Ubuntu Studio 8.10 until yesterday and before Ubuntu 8.04. Yes, I installed from the Live CD, but I chose to install from the initial menu without actually booting the Live CD. Kind regards, Miro ** Summary changed: - ext4 : file system corrupted and system unbootable + ext3 and ext4 : file system corrupted and system unbootable ** Description changed: I have installed the first beta version of Ubuntu 9.04 codenamed Jaunty Jackalope (AMD64). First I tried ext4 with a customized partition scheme. When installing packages from Synaptic, the system starts to behave erratically. The last thing I have the time to read, before it is completely irresponsible, is "read-only file system". I have to force power down. I cannot boot into Ubuntu anymore. Apparently the file system is no longer recognized. I reinstalled with the default parameters (using the entire HD), but again choosing ext4. Same results. Now even Grub refuses to load (Error 24). - I reinstalled with ext3. Only minor problems up to now. + I reinstalled with ext3. + + UPDATE: This morning when I switched on the system, it did not boot to + graphical mode. In the console, I receive instructions to run fsck, + which I do, but there are too many errors. The entire file system + appears to be corrupted. Therefore, the problem is reproduced also with + ext3. The computer is a laptop NEXOC Osiris E705 III (CLEVO M570RU).
