DATA CORRUPTION in 2.6.1 and 2.6.2-rc1 (not in 2.6.0-mm2)

Hello:

(sorry with my _very_ poor english)

I've been using 2.6.0-mm2 since it appears with almost no problems (besides bttv not giving me audio out).

When I switched to 2.6.1 for the first time, I have just booted and a lookup blocked my computer. When I have hand-reseted it, I realized that some files was filled with garbage. In fact, modules.autoload was in this way.

Because of this, I reverted to 2.6.0-mm2 and newly no problems in a while.

Today, I have builded 2.6.2-rc1 and the same has happened. A hard lookup and lots of files were screwed from my /home directory. Xfce has no configuration files and Firebird says "Welcome, new Firebird user", so lots of files are deleted or filled with garbage.

I have an n-force2 ide chipset running an AMD 2500+ cpu. Do you need more info about my hardware?

I have realized that when the lookup ocurrs, the HD led is on all the time.

Thanks a lot.
