[PLUG] Debian

[Matthew Laurence Wirges]

Okay, so after doing a massive hardware upgrade to my desktop, I
reluctantly tried Debian (as suggested by several friends).  I have grown
to like it, apt-get rocks :)  However I have a problem.  My root partition
spontaneously switches itself to readonly (which has quite the adverse
affect on X I might add).  When I check mount it still says that / is
mounted rw.  I also checked the logs and I notice a few occurances of
this:
        vortex kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device

If I catch it in time I can remount it rw, but otherwise anything that
depends upon writing to the disk gets really pissed and bad
things start to happen.
Also:
      I am running Debian 2.2 unstable (but it happened before i
dist-upgraded), the root partition in question is a 4GB partition on hda
which is an ATA-66 Drive (are there currently issues with ATA-66?)

So if anyone can help I would really appreciate it!
