Here's an update. i booted from the gentoo live CD and went and mounted the harddrive and when I go to my home directory (the one the session files for ardour are in *sigh* the one I wrote three songs in since last backup *sigh sigh sigh*) and try to change to my user directory or even ls, I get: ReiserFS: warning: is_leaf: item length seems wrong: *3.5*[3275 337142 0(1) DIR], item_len 0, item_location 500, free_space(entry_count) 1 ReiserFS: hda3: warning: vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format found in block 21228. Fsck? ReiserFS: hda3: warning: vs-13070: reiserfs_read_locked_inode: i/o failure occurred trying to find stat data of [3275 150445 0x0 SD] ls: /mnt/studio/home/aaron: Permission denied and when I try reiserfsck /dev/hda3 I get: Partition /dev/hda3 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it Am I hosed? How hosed am I? It'd be super special nice good not bad totally gonna pull my hair out not-throw-myself-off-the-golden-gate-bridge if I could rescue that directory... I should probably post this on general unix lists - I guess I better join some ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Trumm To: ardour-dev(a)lists.ardour.org ; Linux Audio Users ; ardour-users(a)lists.ardour.org ; ardour-user(a)lists.ardour.org Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 11:02 PM Subject: [ardour-dev] Eek nice hefty crash action... Hello all - sorry for cross post - wasn't sure who might have an idea... see what you think of THIS one. I was working with Ardour beta28, didn't make any system changes or anything, and I have done this with this version of Ardour before (yesterday in fact)... I just exported a region by right clicking and choosing export, and had it write to 44.1 16 bit format (the session is 48k) and it hung. I had to use the reset button to reset. So it reset, I logged in, tried the same thing again. This time Ardour crashed and exited. So I went to start it up again and it flat wouldn't. It didn't do anything. So I said ok I'll reboot again. I did that, and instead of booting, I got this (after a small scroll of stuff I don't recognize): kernel panic fatal exception in interrupt And after a try or two rebooting with acpi turned off in the bios and such, now it stops with this (after similar scroll): unable to handle kernel paging request What the $%#? Everything I've googled so far tells me things about RAM and IRQ and acpi, which gives me a bad feeling that I've got a hardware problem. What does anyone think? The system is gento 2.6.6 kernel...uh...I dunno what else...brain fried... --------------------- Aaron Trumm www.nquit.com ----------------------- _______________________________________________ ardour-dev mailing list ardour-dev(a)lists.ardour.org http://lists.ardour.org/listinfo.cgi/ardour-dev-ardour.org
