I don't know how long this has been going on, but I see lots of errors. close to end of boot. Using Puppy 2.01r2, and booting from LiveCD with no apparent problems that I see in operation. HD has 3 partitions, 2 at 5GB ext2, and one 500 MB Linux Swap. A few day ago, I had a "jamed" condition where mouse/keyboard disabled. Had to do a hard shutdown with power button. Tried to restart, and it could not find HD, and came up like a fresh install. Tried again, same thing. Noticed CD took a very long time to pickup boot. Tried a fdisk on /dev/hda. Got "could not open". Decided to look at BIOS on machine. Did not see anything unusual. After a few times of doing the above, it finally "came back". CD booted quickly, everything came back like I had before. Am able to to re-boot, and start from cold.
Below is the beginning of the errors I see from dmesg.

I need to know what to do. Also I always see the warning about e2fsck
(File system not checked) N ot sure what thsi means.

Should I worry about those boot error messages?
Boot errors
flash says "Don't worry about them"
I think I saw that general answer before. As a follow up, I can select from 2 pup_save.3fs, one for 2.01r2 or 2.02. I booted up 2.02 and correct pup_save, and see no boot errors. So, I guess the pup_save for 2.02r2 has some sort of corruption. I suppose still don't worry?
