Hi,

    My server is down, and I'm trying to figure out what I can do to 
bring it back up.   The crash said that a double fault had taken place.

When I tried to reboot this morning, I got this message:
       loading /boot:    bad format

What is going on here?   I tried to reinstall the boot blocks, but had 
no luck.

                                          Thanks,
                                          Curtis Kaminski
