could also be a flaky IDE controller - i've had more than one mobo that
exhibited similar behavior even with a known good drive. less common
than a bad disk but not unheard of.

I agree except this is same box we played with long ago with RHCE. If you do
not shutdown cleanly it will not recognize the drive on next boot. Also the box
will not shutdown cleanly. You have to do 2 boots for the drive to be
recognized on the controller. Very annoying except with linux I do not reboot
that often. I may be safer getting a new drive. Thanks.

sounds like a drive in its death throes (bios not seeing it, out of space
errors).

I have moved my wife over to Ubuntu. Recently she said the system would not
start and said no OS found. Now when I try to reboot the system locks at
trying to login in to gnome. I tried switching to KDE and got an ICE authority
error message. If I do not login the system stays up and I can ssh in and even
start freenx to bring up the user desktop. However the systems seems to run
slower than usual over freenx. We also go an out of disk space error message
once but DF shows the main drive with 78% free. Any ideas on where to start?
I have 2 kids who run around the house and randomly press keys occasioanally.
