Software-wise? ... nothing. One day the system just started locking up. I reinstalled 7.2 several times, altering options and formatting all partitions. This problem still occurred after each fresh install, and sometimes even during the install. Hardware-wise? ... nothing also - at least nothing before this problem first appeared. After the problem appeared, I swapped the disks into a completely different system, up to the ribbon cable. The system still locked up. So if the partition setup is valid, then it seems that the root of the problem somehow lies within one of the disks. I cannot come up with any other explanation, since the only common factor related to this problem is the pair of disks. But its not satisfying enough, to just replace the disk(s) without knowing what the problem is. So as I type this, I'm installing 7.2 again, but solely for the purpose of using the "check for bad blocks feature". I'm actually hoping that this test reveals a bad disk just to put problem to rest. If it doesn't reveal anything, hopefully there is some disk util out there that will. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
