Ext4 is the new stable fs that almost everything defaults to, and btfs is the up and comming fs that's intended to replace most everything on desktops and server. Ext3 was mostly abandoned feature-wise going forward. I've had no issues with either ext fs. Any chance this is in regards to the new hardware? <div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 5, 2011 3:59 PM, "Bert W.

I tried fixing it with a boot CD and a command line command (sorry I can't remember which one) and it still wouldn't boot. On a hunch, I replaced the video card with an old NVidia model, no problems since.
