That errored out into a debugger that I couldnt seem to = exit. I tried it again, after newfs again, and the same thing happened. = I untared/compressed the archive and tried to cp -R it. I got what I = think is the same error. I then read this: "(this will take quite a = while. I have found that the dreaded 'ad0: device write underrun'" Now I = am not sure if this is what I have since I am copying from the network, so = I decide, to go to the sbin director which it is guaranteed to fail in, = and write a script to copy a file, then sleep for a second, then copy, = etc. Same thing happened, it just took longer. The exact error I have on my screen now is this: panic: vm_pageout_flush: partially invalid page 0xe010bca0 index 9/10 Welcome to Debugger, panic Stopped at 0x3193ec: lwn r0, r1, 0x14 I also noticed no solution was offered to the underrun problem up there, = else I'd have tried it. If it is simply repeat, I have tried that 3 = different ways, about 5 times each.=20 Any ideas? I am a programmer, so if there is something that specifically = needs to be done for the imac dv model, I will probably do it, just so I = can have this thing running. If it is that, I will need some direction = though on where to start and what I should be looking for Thanks Corry
