I just have my data partially backuped, but not the whole system.
I assume you are running Mandrake 9.1. This is caused by a bug in the kernel - if you enter the full error message in Google and search on it, you will get a range of answers to the problem. This was a "problem" for me until installing 9.2. So far as I know, it never caused any difficulties with any programs I was then running. -- Alan Dunford [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mandrake Linux 9.2 A 100% Microsoft-free computer
