And the culprit turned out to be the new memory that I had added. Because all of the check tools I'd tried had failed, I though the damage was worse than it was. When attempting to install SuSE 9.3 on a new drive crashed several times I realized that the new memory wasn't working well with the old memory, so I removed it. I was then able to reboot to a rescue system, run reiserfsck to fix the superblock and repair the tree - both of which completed properly this time instead of stalling, and then run the automatic repair and reboot. Problem solved. All my data seems to be present and accounted for. Thanks for all the tips. Hilary -- Hilary L. Hertzoff Young Adult Librarian Mamaroneck Public Library hhertzof@gmail.com
