Hi Andreas,

I had similar problems with my qube after installing some updates, I 
don't know
if this is a problem because I am using a 2.4.19 kernel or this is from 
somewhere else :-(

My workaround is to boot the qube from the rom, it will also test the 
disks but this normally doesn't
go to long. After another reboot everything comes back from disk and 
works fine.

I have no idea what broke my qube, but maybe I can track it down, It's 
only my personal qube at home,
and therefore it's not a big problem.... for me

good luck

Daniel
