laptop filesystem panic

["Chris Brown" <CBROWN@seitz.com>]

Hi all,

I just finished installing slink on my compaq armada with a 6.4 gig 
drive, its partitioned with one 2.1g dos primary, one 2.1 gig dos 
extended, and the balance (approx 2 gig) for linux.

Every now and then I get a string of console messages, as shown 
below. How serious is this probem and what do I do to fix it?  Am I 
correct in assuming the partition with the problem is the extended 
dos partition?

Directory 825174: bad FAT
Filesystem panic (dev 03:03, mounted on 03:01:454739)
FAT error
Filesystem panic (dev 03:03, mounted on 03:01:454739)
fat_free: deleting beyond EOF

TIA,

Chris
