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

This error is related to the wireless network. Maybe you should try to
disable this while you copy the disk?

Check that DMA is enabled on your disks.
