Hi Corry, > 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 can reliably reproduce this: it occurs on systems with relatively small amounts of RAM (e.g. 64/128Mb), and I'm working on fixing it. A (horrible) workaround is to copy a few directories at a time, cleanly shut down, reboot, and copy some more directories. Repeat until the filesystem is populated. > I also noticed no solution was offered to the underrun problem up there, > else I'd have tried it.

I've had it happen on the eMac, but not on an ibook or B&W G3. To investigate further you'd need to rebuild/reboot a kernel with perhaps some more diagnostic printouts in the ata code where the error occurs. Also, it may be worth trying to determine situations involving heavy disk activity where the bug is readily tickled. later, Peter.home | help
