hummmm that sucks.... it's a newish card (2weeks) but i know that kind of thing happens, DAMMIT =), thanks i'm a give this one more whirl (the Copy is almost done) and we will see
thanks for the speedy reply
*****EDIT*****
i think it is worth noting that the unknown block (179,2) was the same block as last time!
was about to try this today and found another problem... my pi was frozen so i restarted it and it says PANIC: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
Entering kdb (current=0xda82aca0, pid 1) due to keyboard entry
..................
this is what happened before to make me reinstall like 5 days ago... i am going to reinstall again and hope for a fix soon
Forget what it says about the keyboard, that is just the default that was passed to the kernel.
What it most likely means though is that your SD Card is going bad (the unknown-block(179,2) error message makes it plain).
Last time you re-installed did you use a new SD card? If not I would say the SD card was the problem then too.
