I'm not sure how that would work, unless I'm misunderstanding what I wrote= =20 those options to do. =2De eeprom means obtain the password from the eeprom. /dev/hdd is the device to lock.

I suspect if you ran dmesg, you would see the kernel oops'ed, which is what= =20 led to the segfault.. If you weren't locking your boot device, go back an= d=20 look at /var/log/messages and see if the oops is there. If so, and it's a= =20 recent 2.6 version kernel, you can report a bug to the kernel folks. =20 Beyond that, I suspect there is not much you can do to recover the drive. Might be worth contacting the helpful company you purchased it from and=20 explain that it no longer works and try to return it. I wouldn't suggest=20 mentioning what you did to it.
