Hi I have a bad day. One of the data server is down. First it was not accessible (samba, appletalk, ssh, ftp...) so I plugged in a screen and try to log in directly, thinking of a network problem. There was no kernel panic (no flashng leds on the keyboard). But when I tried to type it started ok then stopped. Complete freeze. I had to hard reboot and then GRUB did not find is way out. I have put the CD1 (Suse 9.1) on and tried to boot from the installed OS... without success : It was a neverending "system analyses". The computer has 2 SATA disks (unknow brand, sold with the DELL box). System was installed on an reiserfs partition (/). home/ is on a software raid 1 partition (dev/md0) formatted reiserfs. I suspect a filesystem corruption. Any ideas ? BTW... I just started Automatic Repair in YaST System repair... It found /dev/sdb and /dev/md0 but failed to find swap partition and dev/sda ... Does that mean that the first harddrive is out of service ?
