Player received "Sigkill Error" on the screen during a synch. Emplode crashed. (don't know which of the two things above precipitated the other. I'm guessing it was sigkill->emplode.

After player reboot, it said No Hard Disk Found Contact Support.

I opened the player and fiddled with the cables. Maybe they just needed reseating.

Player boots fine now and the hard disk is detected. Player software is entered correctly and comes up at "End of Playlist" and it behaves as though it has lost its playlists and has lost its config.ini (no settings there).

Surfing its shell prompt with the serial connection, it seems to think it's got a hard disk, but there's nothing on the important parts (the music partition) and it refuses to list the /drive0 partition. It's behaving as though that partition got corrupted during that failed synch.

I tried a few of the bits in the FAQ including the fsck.ext2 -fay -b 32768 /dev/hda4 thing. It kept giving me strange errors.

Is there any chance I can recover this partition?

Full serial log file attached.
