I've got a question to any tech guru here. Running gen2 with kernel 2.6.19-1 a Thinkpad t42 here with a USB external SATA 300G drive for archival backups.

Tried to access one of the partitions (EXT3) on that SATA drive but numerous directories are completely inaccessible! They all mount (4 partitions in total three of which are fat32) but only the EXT3 partition is giving me trouble - this AFTER I tried deleting a directory that I knew I could erase... However, I now have this directory on the EXT3 partition whose contents are stuck in the trash but also show up in that partition as well ... When I try to view the contents or access it in any way, my system locks up and the only recourse is hitting the power button.

Gah!!!

Anyone venture to guess what the problem here may be? Looks a bit scary to me though. If I lose info on the drive that's not in the trash, then I'm cooked! Particularly when googling indicates that bugzilla suggests this is a motherboard problem (please no!).

Running a terminal in the background and I get this output..

Code:
