An I/O error is a sign of fscked up hardware. Well, that or just being unable to perform I/O operations, which could be caused by a number of reasons. Did you see any messages in dmesg/messages that might indicate a problem?

Did you see any messages in dmesg/messages that > might indicate a problem? I picked the machine apart, trying to locate a hardware problem. It turned out that both memory modules were defective. I replaced them, and now the mechine is rock solid. Thanks for the input. Settig the bug as "Resolved, Invalid". |
