It is looking as tho one of the SATAs has a terminal problem. I was unable to repair a few bad blocks, and have installed a new 10.3 on an EIDE (ok, PATA) drive. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to mount the /home, /data, and /local partitions and retrieve their data. I also looked further into the boot messages, and this DID begin showing ata errors on the 9th, which was the day of my last online update. The computer has not been re-booted since that day, and my wife had complained yesterday about firefox being problematic. I had noticed OO getting sluggish, myself. I sure hope this isn't related to the other thread regarding OO hanging up on several people. (these two SATA drives are 2-yrs old, in a home system.) Bummer...
