[ale]Fsck errors

[ari]

try using the -c flag with fsck, to see if there are any hardware errors on
the drive...

that is, i'm assuming you say y and let fsck do whatever it wanted with the
errors it found...

otherwise, i'd like to have a look at it if you could give me a snooped
telnet session.  someone i know had a similar problem a while ago, and i
didn't get to see what iwas going on (he got a new drive and trashed the old
one, as it was old and smallish anyway).  you may be able to overwrite a
corrupt superblock using lilo.
