I missed the first post in this thread, but I have a story to tell...
The day that Sarge was released, I upgraded my Sarge installation and
afterward, I got "DriveReady SeekComplete Error" on all consoles and I was
also unable to delete files as one particular user. I reinstalled Debian on
the affected machine (using the Sarge Netinstall CD) and then upgraded the
system to the latest Sarge and I had the same problem as before, after the
upgrade. It seems as though *something* happened the day that Sarge was
released, something that made Debian Sarge not play nice with this computer.
I installed Xandros on the same machine and to this day have not seen the
problem again. My laptop has Debian Sarge installed but has not had any
similar problems.
