Today, as I booted my box, it said that the kernel was using the wrong compression format and halted. So I rebooted, and the dmesg came up with lots of: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Right at the end, we have: VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1(22,0)
It booted, but some files just weren't there anymore. i.e. it had mount, but not umount.
So I thought, bugger that, saved the dmesg, and rebooted.
I was greeted with:- Kernel Panic! VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
It suggested to run e2fsck, so I did using a tomsrtbt rescue floppy. Fine. It 'fixed' a LOT on hda1.
Reboot, Kernel Panic! no init found...
SoI'm figuring that it's pretty much destroyed the data on hda1. Or, as I like to mount it, / Bugger.
So I guess it's reinstall time for me, that way, I guess, I could possibly save /home . Or do people think it may be a hardware problem?
Oh poo.
TIA Ricardo

Sounds quite possible. Do you have something else you can connect it to, or a tomsrtbt disk (or similar) handy to try to mount the disk and see if anything is still salvagable? I suspect trying to copy /home off will be a challenge. Good luck.

Before you do anything drastic check the seating on your disk cables. One may have come slightly loose.
