-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you don't mind, please send to the lists at linux-mandrake, not mandrake-linux. I've not taken the time to setup my filters to catch everything (to anyone reading this with the full regexp string to catch the variations this list passes, I'd be very appreciative if you would share).
The error sounds like a hardware one. You could have a bad hard disk, bad/flaky controller on the motherboard, or you could have a bad/flaky cable. I've had the problem with the motherboard controller on an old TX-II Pro motherboard (SIS chipset of the 233-300Mhz era). In that case under Windows, the controller would spontaneously reboot the machine every few days and give random data corruption. Linux would rarely run on it, and died very early, often during boot. My best guess is that Windows does not use that hardware as efficiently as Linux and thus shows the problems slower. On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, C.
