Hmmmm..
Ditto here too. Linux getting errors when trying to boot from 1.2G Maxtor-
BUT the same drive has a DOS partition which is pounded far more frequently 
and it is as clean as a whistle.

May be I am just lucky :)

I was wondering if perhaps 1.3.31 was screwy. At least I think that was the 
version I was up to. Its a bit hard to find out now :(

Any one else out there had similar problems? I still have the notes I made on 
the kernel barf if anyone can offer any advise.
