Advice? Boot a standalone floppy or CDR GNU/Linux system and examine your HD. I'd recommend Tom's Root Boot if you're running a 2.1.x kernel (TRB doesn't handle some instances of 2.2.x ext2 filesystems), or the LinuxCare Bootable Business Card (BBC), which uses a 2.2.x kernel. I suspect HD damage, which may prevent you from accessing your HD and/or a Linux kernel located on it. -- Karsten M.
