FWIW. --------------------------- quote -------------------------------- # mv ispell*.deb /E/DEBIAN2.binary/text Kernel panic: EXT2-fs panic (device 8/37): set_inode_dtime: Cannot load inode table block - inode=20352, inode_block=81928
# shutdown -h now Broadcast message from root (tty1) Wed Sep 27 16:04:01 1995... # really? bash: really?: command not found ------------------------ unquote --------------------------------- This happens every time I have a kernel panic on my Fujitsu M2511a m.o. drive -- which is to say almost any time I access that drive after it has been idle for (say) 20 minutes. At this point, because `shutdown' has not in fact shut down, all I can do is hit reset and hope for the best. I would much prefer to have a guaranteed safe exit if possible. Bill
