Argh! I cried out victory too soon... I was running a big update until at one point the root file system got remounted read-only. Its seems like the 2.6 kernel really doesn't llike the CRC errors (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/08/msg00252.html). And then I had to run a filesystem check and I lost many files, and now I can't boot the system. I guess now there isn't much I can do but to maybe reinstall, or maybe I can try to reinstall the core packages. Also, I guess I will have to live without DMA in order to avoid the same situation later on. -- Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
