Hi All,

After many years of solid service my player now has the same issue, it reboots repeatedly with a segfault/sigkill error. I tried skipping forward during this boot loop but this does not change the error.

I connected via serial and upgraded hijack - same problem
I swapped the drive to that of my other empeg - no problem
I swapped IDE cables between players - the problem follows the drive itself

From this I presume that I have a drive problem, either physical or some corruption?

I connected via serial but cannot interrupt the player starting with either repeated or continual pressing of either CTRL-C or q.

I have another drive in a drawer at the office which I will try to config for the empeg and then I suppose connect both with the new one as master and copy all the FIDs across. Is this the best course of action?

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this drive in another way, given the above?

Thanks in advance.
