Anyhow here's the specs : pent 100,32mb ram, quantum fireball (1080A) (its IDE), intel pro 100b card running the May snap version. Heres whats happening: Machine boots the kernal off the had no problem, probes and detects all the stuff normally however after the detection of wd0, it comes up with this : WARNING: / was not properly dismounted /: bad dir ino 182 at offset 1536: mangled entry bad dir syncing disks 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up it then requests a reboot, I let it and the similar thing happens over and over again. Is there a simple fix to this problem or am I screwed? I still have the boot floppy (it boots off it ok, just no hd),if that will help. Can someone explain what is happening and if there is a way to fix it? Phil Holmstrom
