erm why? My root partition is /dev/hda1 not /dev/hda -- this config file
worked for over two months before i shutdown the computer last night. i'm
pretty sure the values in it are correct.

If that is the case what do I do? I've already checked for bad blocks on
/dev/hda1 using e2fsck. It said something about 1% not being continuous
but didn't want to to fix anything when I ran it using the "fix me"
parameter.
