Hope not, the hd is a few months old (new). > have you run another operating system, that might have messed up you linux > install? Uh, yes... and not. I have OpenBSD installed, but on a second hd, not on the same hd. To be honest, I've mounted the Linux ext2 partitions from OpenBSD several times, and done a bit of copying and moving. hda (where Debian is installed) has different partitions, and /var, /home, /usr, /usr/local, /opt, /usr/doc, /tmp are on partitions of their own. The partition I've messed up most from OpenBSD is /alt (a partition of my own where I keep from source files to binaries and documents. BTW, the fs I usually get more trouble with (fsck inconsistencies) is /var. > crashed your system before these problems started? NO. I used to have problems with the X Window System, but these have not happened since I added more RAM to the machine. X used to hang at exit every now and then. The hang was usually a vertical stripped colour screen, and the keyboard wouldn't work, so I had to do manual reboots. But as I said, this hasn't happened since I have 128MB RAM (used to have 64MB). > the panic is probably caused by a destroyed kernel-image, init-executable > or some vital configuration file (e.g., /etc/inittab). I've tried a couple of reboots, and everything seems to be working fine now (everything except the ../lost+found/#10.... files which still are there and the system cannot clean when starting). But I expect some more trouble as these problems don't usually go away on their own :( Anything you may recommend? -- Horacio Anno MMDCCLIII aUC mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~Spain ~Spanje ~Spanien -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key fingerprint = F4EE AE5E 2F01 0DB3 62F2 A9F4 AD31 7093 4233 7AE6
