Here is a update.  Let's see what folks think about this situation.  I 
mentioned in another thread that I did a from scratch kernel.  It was a 
.35 version.  It seemed to work fine, for a while.  When I tell 
Seamonkey to download to my desktop, it works fine.  The minute I tell 
it to save it to my large 750Gb drive, I get a kernel panic.  Keep in 
mind, there is nothing OS related on that drive.  Nothing OS at all.  It 
is videos, CD ISO's and such as that.

Here is another thing I just found out.  I did download a few videos I 
wanted to save.  They were on my desktop and who likes desktop clutter.  
So, I dragged them over to the large data drive.  I did this by dragging 
from the desktop to a open Konqueror window.  This was not downloading 
or anything, just a straight move operation.  It copied a few Mbs and 
panic.  This had nothing to do with Seamonkey either.

So, did this issue just move from a Seamonkey sort of problem to 
completely something else?  Hmmmmm.  After the crash, I boot to single 
user mode.  I ran resierfsck --fix-fixable on the drive.  Not one 
error.  I ran the smart thingy and not one error there either.  Thinking 
file system is bad in the kernel, well my /home directory is on reiserfs 
too.  It is the one that works.

Now, what the heck is this about?  Does this make sense to anyone?
