Hi list; I've recently returned to Fedora from SuSE. With SuSE I would always backup my main laptop hard drive to a second drive via dd as follows: 1) boot into single user mode (init 1) 2) run dd if=/dev/SRC of=/dev/TARGET conv=noerror,sync bs=4k #where SRC = my current OS drive and TARGET = the backup drive I tried this yesterday with my new FC6 install. It from about 7:30pm until 7:00am and I saw a message on the screen, something like this: Firmware error detected, ipw2200, restarting Any thoughts? I suspect 12 hours is way too slow for a dd of a 100G drive. With SuSE it took about 3 hours (not that I would ever consider returning to the new M$ SuSE) Thanks in advance
