Hey *,

I'm running a Free4.4 Release box at home that does
something weird.  At boot, it tries to recover a file
in vi and will hang indefinitely unless I'm at the
console and hit control-c twice right away.  I have no
idea what file it's trying to recover or why.  I'd
really like to know how to make this stop.

Another problem that I think is linked is that I can
no longer ssh to the box.  In fact, if I hop on the
console and do a netstat -a the machine just sits
there frozen.  Sometimes I can get in, sometimes not.

This is a GENERIC kernel and I didn't change anything
when this started happening.  Also, I can't upgrade
the box to a newer release because this machine has
the exact config of a box that I can only do minor
maintanence to (this is the test box; the production
box doesn't have any of these problems).

Thanks for anything,
Keith
