ere are a number of messages on the Linux kernel mailing list about IDE disk corruption, and there a number of patches for various versions of the 2.4.1x kernel, but it's not clear which patches fixes known problems vs. which try to add new functionality to the otherwise-stable 2.4 kernel series.

Hi all, I had a hang while doing an upgrade. I think it was during the upgrade of the pcmcia-cs pacjage. Note: the only pcmcia card I have is a Schlumberger smart card reader unsupported under Linux). Unfortuntely after the hard reset I was obliged to do, I ended up having big troubles with my ex

Hello, I've installed Debianalready twice and then got clue, how to organize big disk (10 G) with windows and Debian. Installed debian with altered geometry at boot (linux hda=4912,63,64) like is written in debian FAQ. But then accidentally debian was newly booted without this parameters. When I
