erm why? My root partition is /dev/hda1 not /dev/hda -- this config file worked for over two months before i shutdown the computer last night. i'm pretty sure the values in it are correct. > I'm wondering if you might not have some physical damage in the boot > sector of your drive. That's not real likely, but it's a possibility. If that is the case what do I do? I've already checked for bad blocks on /dev/hda1 using e2fsck. It said something about 1% not being continuous but didn't want to to fix anything when I ran it using the "fix me" parameter. -- Emma Jane Hogbin Xtrinsic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
