I never got it to boot once, not even a close call. I got blinking keyboard lights and error messages that filled the screen. I worked with that thing for over a week. It is in the same pile as hal. Oooo, let's not even go there. Grrrrrr! I eventually went to dracut which *seems* to work. My current solution, don't reboot. root@fireball / # uptime 19:28:53 up 93 days, 12:38, 9 users, load average: 0.30, 0.31, 0.32 root@fireball / # That has worked for the last 93 days. If you are worried about something, avoid it. ;-D Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
