It's exactly the same directory and exactly the same problem. It looks like there's something wrong somewhere! After installing all the dist sets I config a kernel, called MYRDDIN. I then make the kernel in the MYRDDIN directory, mv the kernel to /, sync the system and reboot and bang, corrupted directory that can't be fixed. It wasn't the first kernel build I'd done in the directory so I don't know what caused it to get corrupted. I'm getting the same error from fsck, I OUT OF RANGE and it's still core dumping. Does anyone know how I can repair this directory. I really don't want to re-install everything AGAIN. It's taken 3-4 hours. -- Paul Richards at Cardiff university, UK. spedpr@uk.ac.cf.thor Internet: spedpr%thor.cf.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk UUCP: spedpr@cf-thor.UUCP or ...!uunet!mcsun!uknet!cf!thor!spedpr +++
