 Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 7:24 pm Post subject: ReiserFS warning after storm and sudden shutoff |
 |
|
I experience a storm last night which suddenly shutoff the gentoo box I was working on. Now when I start it back up, it loads grub and then the modules and such, however it stops after it says its tree checking the filesystem. I am unable to login to the box from the local console, however i can ssh into it to pull the following.
I ran dmesg and came up with the following in the last few lines:

I suspect that your ethernet card might have been cooked by high transient voltages generated by lightning. I've had a modem and parts of a PSU damaged in this way. Since then I've fitted a plug with a transient sink, which has so far worked! 
To eliminate the possibility that your fs is corrupted I suggest that you boot your Gentoo LiveCD (or Knoppix, or whatever) and without mounting any drives run chkfs on each of your partitions (use chkfs.reiserfs or whatever is appropriate).
Then try to chroot into it and recompile the kernel with the relevant NIC driver (just as you had it when it worked last time). Exit the chroot and reboot.
If that doesn't fix it or show up more software errors, then the original assumption of a cooked NICseems a likely cause of your trouble - although your dmesg shows that the eth0 is eventually coming up. Did your adsl router/modem survived?
EDIT: Thinking about it a bit more, you may also want to reset your adsl modem and reflash the firmware.

i rebooted the machine using the livecd and setup networking as normal. i attempted to run chkfs.reiserfs and it returns command not found. How do i run chkfs?
Am i supposed to mount the partitions and then chroot into /bin/bash first? |

I ran reserfsck -- check and everything turned up normal on the root partition.
Yes, my cable modem survived the storm so i'm assuming my eth0 is ok.
I read some other postings which suggesting recompiling the kernel w/o acpi support? has anyone had any experience on that? |

OK, it's good news that your fs is healthy. If your machine worked before with ACPI support, it should also work now. Recompile your kernel exactly as you had it before with your chipset and NIC card selected, using the LiveCD to chroot into it. Also copy the networking congiguration from the LiveCD as the handbook suggests, into your chrooted system.
Then reboot and hopefully the problem should be solved.

i recompiled the kernel without the local acpi support and now the boot is even worse. It does get past grub and then it says uncompressing kernel...lists some stuff and stops at zone(0), zone(1), and such.
The funny thing is the box still allows me to ssh in. Is there something I can emerge or a log file I can find which posts what was loaded and listed on screen before it stopped during bootup? |

| When I run Dmseg it lists something completely different than the details listed on the bootup following the uncompressing of the kernel. |

You can try: | Code: | | # nohup <command> & |
will save the output of the command in your ~/nohup.out. You could choose to monitor a log, redirect stderr & stdout to a file, or perhaps if you run # nohup reboot, will show you what's going on. Someone more educated than me on the bash command line should be able to verify what will work. Alternatively do a couple of practice runs to see what you can capture.
PS. What does the dmesg show?
