Your filesystem may be damaged. Your /disk/ may be damaged. Boot with something else (e.g., a bootable CD) and run fsck (e2fsck) on the disk. If that is not the issue, try reading the whole disk device (dd if=/dev/hd? of=/dev/null bs=1048576 count=1048576). If that is not the issue, then a reformat, reinstall, and restore may be in order. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
