The machine is a bit old for SMART disk monitoring but thanks for reminding me to run e2fsck -c. There weren't any bad blocks however and unpacking the bzip2 file still fails with the same error. I've tried using bzip2 v1.0.2 (debian/sarge package), v1.0.3 compiled from source and v1.0.2 (Suse rpm) all with the same result. I've also deleted the cached .deb file are downloaded it again (although surely .deb files have a hash for integrity checking?). Using bzip2recover indicates the damaged block is #24. I'm a bit lost for other things to check... Could you let me know the md5sum of the bzip file (kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2) on your system, I get: 242b931b892e40125592886c374a35ad cheers Simon -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Simon Rees | ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
