That's the really odd bit, because I can't find any ffs_extern references in any of the files... I think the drive might be dead, so I've found an identical machine and I'm using that now, hopefully this one will work. I'll have to wait and see. > > Instead these files are copied to /usr/include/machine which in turn is a > symbolic link to /sys/i386/include once you did a ``make world'' on your > machine. I'll leave it to do a make world on the old box, but only once I have a backup of everything. I expect it's just these cheap IDE drives that's causing this. > This is interesting, because ``make world'' is considered to be a very > good hardware tester, and your problems might be hardware caused.

After that I'll leave it looping make clean and world. (to a typescript!) I'll probably also try putting a reboot in at the end of rc.local and then leaving it starting up and shutting down for a few hours =), it'll give fsck a chance and it should give it a bit of a workout =) Many Thanks for the help.
