It's ext2 and I've run e2fsck -cfv /dev/hda2 on it. I carelessly forgot to make a note of the corrections made by e2fsck (there was at least one), and I suppose I've deleted something. I've never found anything with dmesg that looks amiss, but the boot procedure regularly throws up Special (device/socket/fifo) inode 17601 has non-zero size and insmod always complains of not being able to write to the /var/log/ksymoops directory because it's read-only, although that directory does get written to liberally every time. I've tried repeatedly to understand what ksymoops is all about, but it's all above my head. Is there a way of checking that all the files that were installed with all the packages are still there? Or is that a stupid question? I'd be grateful for any help. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
