    hey all

    So I get back from a lovely 6000km road trip and am working on some LDP
    documentation. I install the Morphon XML editor in /usr/local (with JRE)
    with no problems around 10pm. At 3am I shut down my system using "sudo
    halt"--like I always do. At 9:30am I try to start my computer and it won't
    boot. The system reboots right after the "If you'd like to enter the BIOS
    press F12." I've tried running a rescue disk and I can get the / partition
    to mount, but I'm at a loss on what's wrong. Obviously I'd prefer not to
    have to re-install my system (again).

    Any ideas on what's going wrong?
    thanks,
    emma
