Bleaugh, all broken now. About six hours ago I was working on my computer, when a few applications randomly closed. I ignored it, but continued working. A short while later, I recieved a message which I failed to write down, but was similar to the message which I'll note shortly, in the terminal I was working in. After recieving that message, most of my apps became unresponsive. Hoping that it was just an X thing, I killed X, only to be presented with an unresponsive machine displaying only a black screen.

I then proceeded to reboot my machine, and everything went normally up until I was presented with a login prompt. Shortly after the login prompt is presented, whether I log in or not, I recieve the following message. The ellipses represent long hex strings that I didn't bother to fully transcribe, but will do so if they turn out to be important.

Code:

So... yeah, broken. After this message, the system just sits there completely unresponsive. I am unable to log in via ssh either. I booted to a livecd, and was unable to find anything related to this in any logs. I haven't made much of any changes to my system recently. I'm completely baffled. At this point I'm thinking about tarring my /home to a backup and doing a complete reinstall. This happens with kernels that I know are good and have worked perfectly prior to this point. I built a new kernel and modules from a chrooted environment after booting to a livecd, and that kernel panicked wihle booting, trying to mount tempfs on 05:03, I believe...

Really, anything at all would be helpful. Any thoughts? Requests for more information? I'm not entirely sure what other information would be of use.

We will need some more information about your box.

What kernel flavour and version do you use?
What hardware do you have?
Did you change/update/downgrade/<insert favourite action here> anything before this happened?

You might want to search https://bugs.gentoo.org for related issues, as well as the forum.

Regards,
Alexander
