Thanks alot Mathias for the pointer.
I've checked out issue #41/42 on linuxcare, and it concludes that there's
no solution found yet for this situation.
For me, this situation started when I upgraded to kernel 2.2.12 and
2.2.13. No errors before that.
By the way, did I mention that my hard drive was completely wiped out? I
wonder if any body else experienced that level of severity.
Thanks
robert
