 Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 9:55 pm Post subject: Everything Segfaults (!) |
 |
|
My laptop has been working perfectly for weeks. The laptop itself is a Thinkpad T61, and I have Gentoo installed on it. I woke the computer up from being suspended today and X had crashed (there was a bunch of noise on the screen and I couldn't switch to any ttys). After I restarted the computer with the power button, everything was crashing. When I try to run emerge (on anything), I get stuff like
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 7, in <module>
import _emerge
ValueError: bad marshal data |
When I try to run vim:
| Code: | | vim: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.Co.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
When I try to log on as a regular user:
| Code: | | -bash: ?ave: command not found |
I'm running kernel 2.6.26-gentoo-r1. The same problems appear under earlier kernels.
I can give more specific information, but I'm not sure what to give. Almost everything seems to segfault and/or return weird errors. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on? |

Seems like either a RAM problem or a broken file system.
memtest done? |

I ran reiserfsck, but nothing came up -- it said the filesystem was fine. |

That's the problem -- I'm running memtest86, and so far it's reported almost 3 million errors (I have 4GB of memory).
Once memtest finishes, what should be done? |

start pulling out ram until the errors go away would be my best guess (or try each stick at a time). once that issue's been taken care of, we can see if the system still boots and runs normally.
