Since the reboot (20 hours ago), the box has been fine. It's done a few buildworlds, and no problems have been seen. The disk manufacturer's diagnostics tools found nothing wrong with the drive. At this point, I'm suspecting a bad cable (which was replaced), not that I have any firm evidence that was the problem. > Time to check whether you had backup of good quality ;-) It's a fresh install.... There is nothing on it yet which needs a backup. Thanks. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/
