What distribution are you using? What's the hardware configuration, including amount of memory? What is the partition table look like for /dev/sda? What filesystems are mounted? If you have any soft RAID partitions, are any of them using part of /dev/sda? What swap partitions are you using? And do any of the swap partitions overlap with /dev/sda? :-) - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
