Nope it was the install disk, I changed it to the live file system then 
it went wonky.

It was mounted, but got an input/output error when trying to change to 
that directory. Other vt's console messages were media changed.

Got invalid device or some such when trying to dismount it. I checked all 
what I had logged in and none of the vt's that were logged in were in 
that directory.

Ya I know, but its the *amount* of time I had it running for 
straight...it was pushing over a 100 hours of run time at that point.

But at this point this post is mute...last night at 2:01am for no reason 
I can discern from the logs, the system rebooted on its own.

Cron stuff runs at 2am to email me about latest stuff from the system. I 
didnt get that message, and I turned on the monitor to a login prompt.

Last message in message log was media changed at 2am then at 2:01 am I 
get the log of the machine rebooting.

Weird, but everything seems ok, cd mounts and umounts fine now! :)

thanks!
Keith
