Appearently I have a problem whenever I try to surf the web with Netscape.
If I can seeminly surf till my heart is content, but it creates problems
later. I need only look at half a dosen web sites, and then I cannot shutdown
properly. When I try to shutdown I get this error:
panic
vinval buf: dirty bufs
automatic reboot in 15 seconds
When I let it reboot, It tells me that root was not properly dismounted,
but recovers:
warning / not properly dismounted
/dev/rwd0s2a SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD (SALVAGED)
/dev/rwd0s2a BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS (SALVAGED)
It then goes on to check the other partitions, and everything is O.K.
I can find no reference to this in the handbook or the archives. Does anyone
know what is going on here? So far everything has been salvaged time and
time again, but it is frightning to think that at some point it may not
recover.
As a side note, I have another problem that may be unrelated. Often
X cannot allocate all the colormap entries I need for the display in a
session. For example, there is no way I can open Netscape and xcoloredit in
the same x-session. I would have to quit x and restart the session if I want
to run xcoloredit in a session.
As I am getting a new video card as part of a nominal upgrade I am
not too worried about the colormap entries problem. I just mention it because
I don't know if it is related. Can anyone give me a clue?
