The only permanent cure (in my case) was to reformat the partition that
contained the unreadable sector.

Queries from a lurker:
When running the above command as "user", I get:
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() xfs file system /dev/.static/dev
Output information may be incomplete.
Should the command be run as "root"; and if so, what might get
/dev/hdax.
Does this apply to Debian kernel upgrades?

Is there an alternative to "aptitude update" or do I have to live with the

The documentation says that the CPU is:

instructions in the proposed release of Debian 4.0. If existing

My concern is the upgrade of the kernel. I presume - perhaps incorrectly

But, I fear that it is probably the best (and certainly the safest)

And no point in copying the errors to a second drive.
