Carl, I also had ReiserFS corruption problems with 9.3 that I had not been having with 9.2 (both the x86_64 versions). It caused all sorts of strange problems for me while I was installing 9.3 from ftp. I cannot say what the cause or the fix for this problem was, but I have not seen these same problems after I updated the kernel with YOU. I really should boot with a Rescue CD and fsck everything to make sure there are no new corruptions, but I have not noticed any "mysterious problems" since the kernel update. If you have not done that yet, I think it would be worth trying. "Carl E.

To make sure, I reinstalled 9.2 and ran it again for three days without a symptom, However, after installing 9.3 (this is my 3rd time) within an hour of running YOU I start noticing little 'ticks' in the file system like this one I just found in /usr/bin: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 77872 2005-08-03 20:58 ./ drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 344 2005-08-03 17:08 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24916 2005-03-19 15:28 [* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8818 2005-03-22 06:12 3Ddiag* If it follows the same pattern this time around, the system won't be bootable in another hour or two and I'll need to reinstall 9.3 again. I'd appreciate some more enlightened ideas about the best approach for narrowing down the possibilities. TIA & regards, - Carl
