I tried to log in to lola-granola today, and ran into problems which I
was eventually able to track down to the theory that / had filled.
Since one of the failure modes was that dm was failing to start the X
server (rememeber the files in /tmp) and looping, I was unable to switch
VC's and after a while the machine would spend all its time looping and
couldn't be used. At this point I rebooted into linux, forgetting that
the filesystem types available don't overlap. When I remembered that
I couldn't mount the netbsd stuff from linux, I tried to reboot into
netbsd. The machine fails to boot, giving the message ``640K Base,
05312K Extended Memory
Memory write/read failure at 638000, read 638C038C expecting 638C638C
Decreasing available memory'' and never goes any farther.
Anyone?
