I've tried tightening all the IDE connections, but that didn't make a diference. Both harddisks spin up and are found by the kernel while booting. The IDE socket on the motherboard appears to be correctly attached to the motherboard, I don't see any pins that are loose.

I've tried checking the filesystem (which worked), but it didn't find any errors, at least not on /dev/hda4, /dev/hda6 and /dev/hdc4.

Fdisk claims that /dev/hd[ab]3 is of type OPUS, is that correct?

Also, when I try to check any of the other paritiions that fdisk claims are "Linux", fsck complains that it can't find the superblock, is that correct too?

My last resort was trying to reinstall version 2.0-b13 of the software to see if that made a difference (perhaps the boot partition had become corrupted or something), but to no avail, the problem is still unchanged.

I can't think of anything else to try! Help! Has my empeg died?

Is Rob doing support again?
