I read that as your hard drive. Have you tried to replace your drive yet?
the odd thing is the first time i tried the "RESET SC
Control=00000000" it booted up without any problems, but the
subsequent times have given me the same problem.
Ok, then do it again, and fsck?
this output redirected back to Device 1, does that mean that NIC i
have mounted in there is bad, or could the actual PCI port be bad?
any ideas?
Typically when machines stop booting one day, it's a drive error.
Granted, that's not always the case, but there's an easy test in this
case. Drop another drive in, install, and you should have your answer in
under 30 min.
