It was loaded as a module. Kernel was built against new one. Old kernel is
still there.

I have no scsi devices, as for overheating, I do shut the comp down
everynight, and physically feel for heat, so I doubt that has anything to do
with it. I didn't take any experimental drivers when configuring the kernel,
so I suppose the problems has to do with kernel(2.4.17) bugs?
When I included 'Linux 2.4' in the search, one suggestion which was posted
was to do a e2fsck.
When I did this on the mounted partition
e2fsck -p /dev/hda1 (which is '/') I got threatening messages saying that
everything may be severely damaged if I went any further. I have /home on
another partition. I am not sure how to do the repairing, if that is the
solution.

I haven't tried to have another os read the linux partition. I will try that
later today.

Yes. Didn't configure ext3 into kernel.

I reinstalled netbsd again yesterday, and again I went with the default
cylinders numbers given. Upon booting into Linux later, the user that I
had recreated which was earlier hosed, was hosed again. I am able to
login, but the user has no home directory. Not sure how to word this, but
I am guessing that sysinst writes into the linux partition.
Yes I can boot both oses, but only because of lilo. The bsd's bootman(?)
doesn't allow me to get linux up, only netbsd.
As I was typing this msg, I got this:
RFail=0 RFErr=0 RErr=0 RAXFR=0 RLame=0 ROpts=0 SSysQ=1 SAns=0 SFwdQ=0
SDupQ=2 SErr=0 RQ=0 RIQ=0 RFwdQ=0 RDupQ=0 RTCP=0 SFwdR=0 SFail=0 SFErr=0
SNaAns=0 SNXD=0 RUQ=0 RURQ=0 RUXFR=0 RUUpd=0
Is this because of crap hw? But the messages I read (after searching for
RFail=0 RFErr=0 Linux 2.4) seems to suggests that this is a kernel prob.
And the recommedations are all having to do with debugging the kernel.
Watudu?
