I'll post pics of the computer internals again later after I get it working OK. I'm stress testing it at the moment.

:D :D :D

Hmmm, I just can't say it. :lol: :devil: Flickr, ummmm.

Added later:

Here are the family-friendly (expurgated) computer internals pictures.

Image #2: I hope the years of smooth running return soon. After flashing the BIOS, all seems strangely fine again.

relaxing weekend slightly bumpy due to /dev/hda1

I think my hard drive is failing, but what do I know about these things. Three times in the past twelve hours I've found my computer all locked up, or everything seg faulting, or a kernel panic.

I switched over to a console as it was going down one time, I typed "df", and it said something about ext3 fs errors on /dev/hda1. That's the master drive. Oh, master! :smile:

Should I just assume it's the hard drive? Dunno. I could pick up a new one tomorrow, but I hate to part with $80 right now.

Strangely, I've never had a hard drive just up and fail since 1996. I've always sworn by Western Digitals. I've made my backups. :up:

In other news today, I bathed the dog and wished my sweet BF a happy 20th anniversary. :D
