I had a failure on /sev/sdb2. I tried backing up using tar to a USB drive, but something happened and if filled up the disk. There was about 27 GB on the 148 GB disk when I started. After it ran out of disk space, it locked up. on rebooting, it will not boot. Get the splash screen, then when booting, it hangs. Tried the rescue system, I can mount /dev/md0 /mnt and view the directories and files. Tried the suse installation, automatic recovery, it errors out on the hard disks. tried the fsck on sda2, but it fails with error 0x10. tried reiser.fsck, but it does nothing. I li /mnt/home I also get nothing listed. Also, If is start the installation, it recognizes the processor as AMD Hammer 64-bit, however, the processor is a Semperon 32-bit. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Art
