The system works fine except a wierd thing with the loader. While the system is loading the kernel it stops, and won't continue before I touch my keyboard. This has never happened to me before, and it feels like a really wierd thing. I'm not exactly sure what stage of the boot I'm talking about, but it's the point where -, |, / and \ characters keep spinning. They spin for maybe three steps and then it stops waiting for any key. Maybe a possible clue is that fdisk keeps nagging about the geometry, but I'm not aware of anything I could do about it. Anyone else experienced this before or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of this? Juho Vuori
