Interupt error after power failure

I've accidently shut my computer down without following proper shutdown protocol...when I re-booted it's worked fine.

Today I experienced a breif power failure or flicker in the source which caused my computer to shutdown. I wasn't doing anything so they were all in sleep mode most likely. When I re-booted the linux box (Debian) I had to restart a few times before it actually succeeded in booting into the command prompt and let me login.

Here is the thing, whenever I try to login from my desktop using SSH or access the internal web applications, the linux box throws an interupt error and my connection closes if SSH or Apache buggers up and I have to reboot the system manually...

Ever heard of this before? Does it sound like I"m going to have to reformat/reinstall???

Have you run fsck?

arborint+

Also - log files, dmesg?

PS: It could be possibly SWAP partition problem ...

I wasn't even aware of fsck. Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I decided to just re-install... :(

Apparently my server IP changed which is why I think everything was failing when I'd try and access the web sites, putty, etc...

I should really write this down and post it in front of my desk because a power failure has caused this same issue in the past... :banghead:

Yes, dmesg is an excellent way to find these kinds of errors.
