Subject: Disk corruption?

Hello,
Has anyone had any trouble with disk corruption using a 2.4
kernel? I've just moved from a 2.2.18 kernel (running nicely with mol)
and the first time I ran the version of mol compiled under 2.4 (the rpm
from the webpage), my system locked up. It still responded to ping, but
the keyboard/X/virtual terminals/etc were completely unresponsive. No,
telnet, ssh, ftp, etc didn't work either.
Anyway, now when I boot the 2.4 kernel, I get the disk check in
the beginning (standard for ext2 systems on crash), but it freezes at
79.1% and will not continue to boot. I have a dual boot setup with MacOS
- and those partitions seem fine. Looks like something's wrong with only
the Linux ones.
Short of trying to boot with the 2.2.18 kernel again, allowing it
to run the check (assuming that will even work), and then repeat until
working, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if this is a
known issue with 2.4 kernels, because it may just be a configuration error
on my side.
Oh yeah, the Mol partition (i.e. the Mac partition it's booting
from) is specified "rw" in the molrc, and I'm running LinuxPPC 2000 Q4
with the latest benh kernel (2.4.5).
Thanks in advance,
-Neill.
