Thanx in advance.
either the system is misconfigured, that is /dev/hda2 is not a ext2 partition and whatever swap partition(s) you have are incorrectly configured(fstab and lilo.conf being wrong, switched hdds etc), or the disk may be curropted, boot with a rescue disk(debian boot cd should do), and run fdisk -l /dev/hda as well as run e2fsck on the partitions on that disk that are of type Linux. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
