I've noticed this error (with subsequent "read error on device..." and "Buffer I/O error on device") popping up after the computer has been in use for some time, and the disk completely locking up after that - not even responding to smartctl. This is with current kernels, and I notice you use 2.6.24, so I'll try your suggestion. Do you have any pointers to any further information on what this is about? -k There’s a host of bug reports on failing to boot (e.g.
