I have a similar problem on my (now) hdd drive when I was booting it on hda. After shutdown for awhile might get silent freeze, might get crc error after it started uncompressing, just kept playing and eventually it would boot. My step now that I have a fall-back is to isolate, cable, drive, IDE port, ... whatever so I know what to fix/replace. If it was just a few of the "infant mortality sectors" making their appearance, the drive might be good for years, based on my experience.

Nothing fancy here since focus was on LVM learning and getting my butt covered with a new drive and fall-back. Want them e-mailed to you (the address at From is good and attachment gets through firewall OK??) or I can see if I can post them at the web page Road Runner gives me (allow a day or two to get to it - big trees getting felled and I'm multiplexing). > -- Bill
