    [SOLVED] corrupted files

    Hello,

    I have a big problem with corrupted files.

    I don't exactly know why but when I shut down my computer (embedded), some files are sometimes corrupted on the next computer boot.

    I possibly thought that the problem due to files which are still open when the computer power off.

    Did somebody already encounter the same problem?

    Slax
    Linux 2.6.20
    KDE 3.5.2
    I don't know if the problem should be resovled if I update the kernel?

    Thank you for your help!

    Yes,

    kernel: [205.244751] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input3
    kernel: [206.866784] input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input4

    But I don't know if it is dependant.
