Hello, My hamm system crashed the other day when the processor fan died.
I didn't observe any unusual output during the fsck on the subsequent reboot--just a few inodes that were fixed and a few insignificant files (all mail messages) were placed in /lost+found. But now xdm doesn't come up, and I get a slew of the following messages when I do a dmesg listing: attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=2147460425, limit=405504 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=2147460427, limit=405504 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=2147460425, limit=405504 . . . attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=2147460427, limit=405504 Seems like something similar was posted to this list a while back, but I can't remember what the problem or solution was. My /var/log/xdm-errors file looks like: xdm error (pid 188): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 190): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 192): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 194): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 196): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 198): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 200): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 xdm error (pid 204): server /usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed xdm error (pid 180): server unexpectedly died xdm error (pid 180): Server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled Any suggestions would be well appreciated.
