Argh! I cried out victory too soon... I was running a big update until
at one point
the root file system got remounted read-only. Its seems like the 2.6
kernel really
doesn't llike the CRC errors (see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/08/msg00252.html). And then I had to
run a filesystem check and I lost many files, and now I can't boot the system.
I guess now there isn't much I can do but to maybe reinstall, or maybe I can try
to reinstall the core packages. Also, I guess I will have to live without DMA in
order to avoid the same situation later on.
