Any suggestions. I'm low-level formatting both SCSI disks now to see if it's from any vestige of the 1.1.5.1 bootblocks/label that were on the system. Interestingly enough, the latest InfoMagic Linux Slackware 2.2 now has problems with the machine with ext2fs crying all over the place after the installation begins to load packages. The errors were about inodes and blocks but went by too quick to see. I'm not sure if I have an adaptec 1542 problem or disk problem. One interesting thing is the FreeBSD install gives the messages clearly in the second console... Slackware seems to lose them quickly.
