Note the subject line -- this started with i see nothing drive like in that panic, but then again, i'm no panic wiz... to me it looks rather that you just run current (right?) and i have those page faults with it every now and then, not really recently, but few weeks ago i did... reason i'd assume a bad drive rather than ide problem is the fact i am running current with two ide drives, i use 32bit and multi blocks and async,noatime so i would assume i take as much performance out from ide drives i can, yet not having problems you do... and as i said, when my last ide broke (after one year on all the time), i had similar errors... it's bit over a year ago so i dont remember exactly, still i would bet on bad drive. > onto panics. I hate IDE, even brand-new supposedly self-correcting drives... ditto. but until i have the money, i have to live with them. > I'm also stuck at first base with the crash dump: > > Any suggestions, offers of help, or brain transplants gratefully receieved... check the handbook? i got bit further with it, not that i got any more enlighted though. it's in the section 20.1, and too much to cut&paste... =) > "Why does it always happen to me?" coz we let mr murphy to born? =) > Ian. mickey
