Admittedly, I don't reboot this system often, so maybe I'm misremembering when the problem crept in. Could it be the NFS mount that it is hanging on, and unmounting/var is just that last thing showing on the screen? I think I'll try manually unmounting that before rebooting the next time I need to(need to update the kernel soon anyway)... I do know the last few times this has happened, the NFS mount was 'unavailable' (the device had powered down without first unmounting it from the server)... I hope that is all it is... Thanks Alan
