Hard freezes, desktop changes, and fsck problems.
I have a Dell optiplex gx280 P-4 3 Ghz with a gig of ram. I have Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller. I know there problems with intel drivers. I have an 80 gig HD with multi-boot setup. WINXP, mepis8, slackware13-32bit with ext4 fs, and slackware13-32bit with ext3 fs. Both slack installs are fresh installs.
My problems are:
1. I get hard freezes. Mouse will not move. I cannot change to another VT. CTRL-ALT-DEL will not work. I have to use the reset button. This happens on both slack installs.
2. Ext4 install. When I login the desktop never seems to be the same. It is like I am logging to different users. Widgets that I have added to the desktop will not stick. Things are there that I did add to the desktop.
3. Ext4 install. Twice when I start slack. Fsck said there errors and nodes were assigned different locations. It said I could login as root to fix the problem. It took 4 tries to got logged in. I fixed the problems took about 20 minutes.
4 Ext3 install. Firefox will only start for a few seconds then shuts down. If I start it from the terminal I get errors about a shared library it cant access or does not exist. I am not at that computer so I cannot give you the exact errors. I will when I ger back to it.
I do not believe it is a faulty hard drive. I had crunchbang linux and slack 12.2 installed on those partitions with no problems at all. I do have any problems with win or mepis.
Thank you for any help you can give me. Kelean.
