when 2.0.17 came back up it died in the fsck section with the cryptic
error message that went something like
Kernel panic: Buffer in candidate list with BADNESS
seems like it is coming from fs/buffer.c
fs/buffer.c:
if (BADNESS(bh)) panic("Buffer in candidate list with BADNESS != 0\n");
I am now back on 2.0.8 as I deleted 2.0.16 already.
Damn.....
