What distribution are you using? What's the hardware configuration,
including amount of memory? What is the partition table look
like for /dev/sda? What filesystems are mounted? If you have any
soft RAID partitions, are any of them using part of /dev/sda? What
swap partitions are you using? And do any of the swap partitions
overlap with /dev/sda? :-)
