EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,1)): read_inode_bitmap: Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 129, inode_bitmap = 1056776 , kernel BUG at inode.c:886!

[David Flynn]

BlankTo all the kernel people,
                    Ok, this is probabally old news and has been fixed, but
the following happened in kernel 2.4.3 (ironically when i was deleting
/usr/src/linux in order to extract the latest 2.4.5 :-)

Here it is:

However, it has a very slight sound of a more serious problem, to do with my
disk (however, since i know nothing about this error message, i will take no
sides)

Incidently, could anyone tell me out of interest what the problem actually

is this a nice catch 22 ? or is there a nasty problem with one of my disks
... im about to reboot and check the disk....
