Old kernel was preserved. Reason I got new kernel was because new one has
support for my network card. I have booted into old kernel, and no I
didn't have random msgs popping up out of the blue.

I don't know how I would find that out. I have all this running on a i586.
Hd is brand spanking new as is the tulip network card. Everything else is
old.

I didn't want ext3 (yet) so I didn't get that support.

Well when the installation asked me something about cylinders, and there
was a number given as a default, which is what I went with, since my hard
drive did not have any info on it (the website also didn't have anything).

I updated it. There is an unofficial debian apt sources mirror, which is
where I upgraded it from.

I did a search for EXT2-fs error.
