Unfortunately, it's a remote box and I don't have access to a history of the console and there's nothing in /var/log/messages. I think it's a hardware problem, or at least it seems to be. It's as if it's a bad power supply. Anyway, what I'd like to know, where is the fsck that is done at reboot such that I can modify it to do an fsck -y? Some people will argue this is dangerous, but I'm not sure what else one would do. The goal is to make it reboot without intervention. Michael Grant
