I'm upgrading my system from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 3. My machine has been quite stable for 2 years or more. It's got two Athlon MP 1800+ processors, and all partitions are reiserfs. After upgrading, I was getting tons of DMA errors, especially on the drive that is on the second IDE controller (/dev/hdc1). After half and hour or so, it totally corrupted my mp3 collection, which of course I didn't have backed up (although 20Gb of it is on my iPod). Even after unmounting it, I got some errors on my CDROM (/dev/hdd). The next time I tried rebooting, it started complaining about errors and dropping me into single user mode, even though fsck showed no errors. At this point I gave up, and I'm currently restoring from backups (which is why I can't give you the exact text of the messages.) Let me know when it's safe to install FC3, ok? -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Teddy Roosevelt
