Hi all,

A strange thing happened to the linux side of my box the other day, I
couldn't boot into it. I'm using COL2.3. When I try to boot, I click
on Linux in Boot Magic and the Caldera boot screen comes up as usual.

In the System Startup Program I get:

    Loading kernel.............Ok
    Booting kernel.............Ok

    
    Loading default modules:
    Plug 'n' Play configuration..Skip


    Minimum system preparation:
    Checking file system........Wait


Right there is where it hangs (for hours, if I let it.)

So, today, I did a complete reinstall, got everything working as I
wanted it, closed it down (with some trepidation), rebooted, and got
hung at "Checking file system.........Wait".

Has anyone a clue as to what's going on?
