Hello.

I just dropped my laptop(when off), I tyed booting, but after I started X, I had to forcefully shutdown( doesn't look good

) .It's trying to run a 'ext2fsck' when the kernel panic occur's,

Code:

Inode 383423 has imagic flag set.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
etc...

Any advice from the expert's would be helpfull.

Hey joey, it get's worst, I tried a format with the installation cd, same result's, i'm thinking the hard drive is bad...(head crash?)

{edit}

It was loose ram(from the fall), my dear laptop is fine!

I know what you mean....I still have this feeling that somethings wrong lurking inside that I can't get to...or fix...
It made me feel better to take it apart and put it back together nice and tight.
