the inode max seems to be near what I used previously, 120m.  I tried 
240m, and it got set to 122m.  anyone know?  the command again was 
"mke2fs -N 240000000".

also, the freezing behavior might be related to bad memory.  it now 
refuses to boot, with or without the disk, and using different kernels, 
and displays what appear to be memory errors.  I'll run a memory diag 
tomorrow.
