When md5sum a file, read bigger amounts of data from the disk and md5sum it again, the checksum changed. I can reproduce this permanently with a number of files. When I e2fsck the partition, I get bitmap differences. There's an error at bootup which says something about a Drive Error when booting. I'll post the exact error when I get back to the machine.
