Hello,
I have used PW since beta 1 and i think that it's a nice product. I have read some of the comments on this forum about HD corruption and it too happened to me. All i had to do was boot off from the OS X Install Disc and do a HD repair and it was all set. Well this morning i was using PW and compiling something from DarwinPorts and surfing the web and a whole bunch of other things and PEEEW! i got a kernel panic. So i held down the power button until it rebooted and then i tried to boot the system again. No go....no mouse or anything on the blue background. So then i tried Single User Mode with a fsck -fy and it kept whining about invalid record count. I thought that this was because i was booting off fromthe HD and not the CD...maybe something with a mounted HD can't be checked properly? So i booted off from the OS X Install Disc and went into Disk Utility and tried to run a repair volume from there. No Go! Same error and a pop up saying that the disk is trashed. So i'm reinstalling as we speak. Unfortunately i didn't save the kernel panic log...i hit the erase button before thinking...
So i ask you fellow testers:
1) Have you had this happen to you as well?
2) Has anyone noticed the HD corruption talked about in these forums?
3) Is there some user error that i performed?
Final Note:
I have prepaid for the final version. I love this product and stand behind it. I am not complaining, just expressing concerns because i hadn't ran into such a serious problem before. I do understand this is beta and i did have everything backed up. No sweat!
Thanks for listening,
