That sounds like there's something seriously screwy with your system if killing X can screw up a partition that's not even being used (boot is practically ignored, once you've booted up). > TBH, my system is getting increasingly unstable (1 hard lock up per > day).

Check the power supply (harder to do if you're non-technical), and that it's adequate for your hardware. If you've been adding things, you may have added too much. You could have flakey hardware, or flakey drivers for specific hardware. You could leave the computer running in run level 3, doing some hard work, to try and eliminate the graphics hardware. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
