I was testing an adaptec 4-port in a RH 7.1 machine running the 2.4.7 kernel. The Adaptec card caused the system to hang hard, so I had to power down. I tried 3 times to get the adaptec to work, locking the machine hard each time... But, that isn't the real problem...

Now, when I boot the system, things seem to work, except for one
problem: I cannot access /etc/modules.conf. I can't remove, edit, more, or cat it. I can't run ls on it... Every operation complains of Input/output error, for example:

[root@lf1 /root]# more /etc/modules.conf
/etc/modules.conf: Input/output error

I tried rebooting back to RH's 2.4.3+ kernel, and I get the same problem. I tried going to single-user and doing an fsck, but fsck says everything is fine...

Any ideas before I have to install this thing from scratch?

Thanks,
Ben
