In case anyone remembers this thread, I just wanted to report that the
problem turns out to have been heat related. The hard drive would get hot
and them give trouble. It took a week of running a kernel compile in a
loop to expose. I thought my office ogt hot. I think they were leaving the
a/c off in y mom's office (in florida) overnight and the weekends.
I have replaced the drive, added a nice big case fan, and all seems well.
thanks for the help.
