What sort of hardware? Are there any other log messages? This could easily be a sign of random data corruption hitting disk, for example --- it's a vague problem description so far, so any extra detail you can provide would help. > I've tried fsck when the systemm is ro, but it doesn't make any difference. Did fsck find any errors? What do you mean when you say it makes no difference --- exactly the same problem occurs again later, or is the next problem similar but slightly different in detail? --Stephen
