I just updated f11->f12. After, I followed instructions to convert root
partition from ext3->ext4. I used superrescuecd to do it, so filesystem was
not mounted.
Rebooted into f12 and everything seemed fine. I also was trying out nouveau
instead of nvidia, which was OK until I tried to play an hd video. The
machine became so unresponsive (seemed to be swapping continuously) that I
finally had to use the power switch to shut it off (this is a laptop).
On power up, the superblock was corrupted. I tried fsck, but after trying
to repair it screwed up beyond all hope, and I had to reinstall.
So, what in the world could have happened?
