For the stock RH kernel 2.2.12-20 and the lastest rawhide kernel 2.0.13-0.9, I get a lot of these error messages when accessing my /dev/sdb1 disk partition: attempt to access beyond end of device 08:11: rw=0, want=604131336, limit=8883913 dev 08:11 blksize=4096 blocknr=151032833 sector=1208262664 size=4096 count=1 EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory #228929: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 Someone told me that there is a bug in the Adapted 2940 controller code which did this. This is a 9Gig SCSI-2 disk so I think Linux can handle that. Anyone have any ideas to remedy this. If not, I'll just have to use IDE disks. Thanks, -Eric Wood PS, this is my bootup messages.
