[Discuss] Serious error in /usr

[John Blomfield]

I've had this error because the first sector of the disk starts at less 
than sector 2048. Some bios' combined with the latest distros seem to 
object if the first sector is less than 2048 (x 5 12 Bytes) = 1 MB. 
Re-partitioning the disk to start at 2048 solved the problem.
