Hello, Since I have the need to continue to work with my machine1, I finally did an apt-get dist-upgrade for machine1, and installed debian kernel 2.6.15-1-686. I erased fat32 partition and replaced it by a ext2 and give access to it from windows using fs-driver. I will see if problems are still present (if I continue to loose directories).
In machine2 I will also upgrade the kernel but without erasing the fat32, to have a chance to see if the problems comes from the kernel. I will also remove hdparm from machine2, if the kernel is not the problem. I will let you know what are the results in the coming weeks, because if it is a bug it worth to be reported. All the best, Juan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
