I've been trying to install hamm on a new disk, but I have twice now had disk problems, or maybe network problems. The installation went well in both cases. After a couple of days, ftp crashed and dumped core, apparently leaving me with a partition that causes fsck to core dump when it checks at boot time. This has happened twice, with a repartitioning, re-mke2fs-ing and re-installing in between. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here?
Mike P.S. This is what fsck tells me # fsck /dev/hda5 e2fsck 1.10m 24-Apr-1997 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/hda5 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
