    Hi

    I have run Core 1 and Core 2 on my thinkpad 600x without any major problems
    but have run into problems with Core 3.
    I have an IBM Thinkpad 600x with a 20gig drive.

    My first installation ran ok for about a day until I the EXT3 journal got
    corrupted and the file system was re-mounted read-only. I couldn't get the
    machine to reboot, just got a kernel panic message. I reinstalled and
    updated all packages including the kernel. This time the installation lasted
    a few days longer until just now when I got messages that mentioned 'trying
    to write past end of device', 'ext3 journal aborted'. I can't paste the
    exact messages in until I can remount the drive and recover some logs.

    I haven't given anyone anything much to go on here, but maybe someone could
    help point me in the right direction? Maybe Core 3 is just not going to work
    on this thinkpad or maybe it could be faulty hardware?

    regards,

    Jon
