Thanks Mikkel, I downloaded the image, both drives pass with flying colors, 
running memtest about 30% through I got a reboot, I don't know if that 
signifies a bad ram stick or not.  I'll try rerunning it tomorrow when I have 
more time.  From the error above I thought maybe the kernel had gotten 
corrupted somehow so I ran upgrade from CD1 which reinstalled the kernel.  
I'll see what happens during the night and into tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip on the cd.

Chris
