<korozion> you could chance it, but I wouldn't :S
<korozion> I forget what marks the sectors as bad, but I know it's possible. I had the same issue
<korozion> bad sectors spread like cancer, marking them bad is like kemo, sometimes it seems to work, then you find out it didn't
<Phaid> badblocks
<Phaid> although fsck has that built in now
<korozion> that's teh one
<Dulak> it'll call badblocks if you use the -c option

<Oti1> evening
<Oti1> I'm installing Ubuntu and my cheapo ethernet card isn't recognised .... I remember from years ago that I had to manually run a command to read the vendor string from the card and then insert the result into a config file ....
<Oti1> does someone know what the command was ? pci-something ?
<Oti1> oh no, it was in a non-pci slot
<Oti1> anyway, does this procedure ring a bell with someone here ? could someone please refresh my memory on how to get my eth0 configured properly ?
<deexm> lspci
<deexm> ?
<Oti1> hm, I'll give that a shot when I get to the cmd line
<Oti1> but it's not in a pci slot, it's in one of the short ones, old tech
<deexm> isa?
<Oti1> aha !
<deexm> ISA is actually longer than PCI, but I suppose the BUS is techincally 'shorter'
<deexm> :o
<Oti1> yeah ... but the name of the util that gets the vendor string (or whatever info it is) off the card isn't named in a very intuitive way
<deexm> did lspci do it?
<Oti1> darn :|
<Oti1> hehe, it's still installing
<deexm> oh
<deexm> I think it shows non-pci devices too
<deexm> add -v's to get more info
<Oti1> I remember this from when I installed Mandrake yrs ago ... it couldn't detect the card either, at least I know *why* it's doing that and that I'd found a solution for it back then
<Oti1> ok, I will
<Oti1> thanks
