I had some luck solving this problem by putting the SD card in another machine and using fsck.ext2 on it to fix the corrupt FS. My experience is the SD cards are overly susceptible to this sort of FS corruption. I've had much better luck netbooting (once getting through the annoying initial hurdle of getting everything set up). Glenn
