Hi Troy,

I have been using SL5 for about 6 months without any problems.  I installed this with CD's downloaded from your site.  My machine is a Sun workstation with 2 core and two disks that were linked together during this install.

I was in a hurry to logout on Friday morning and instead of logging out, I hit shutdown instead.  Now I can not boot the system.  I get the error
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc
[FAILED]  

I can't seem to work around this.  I briefly tried the rescue disk without much success. This computer is for protein crystallographic refinement and it is a one man shop, and unfortunately without a linux support staff.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Bobby
