CJ, if you check /var/log/messages, you can see where the system stopped during the detection phase to see what hardware may have caused the problem. /var/log/messages usually has the last three or four boots of kernel messages in it, providing your syslog.conf is set accordingly... --cokane C J Michaels had the audacity to say: > Hi, > I have a spare machine I've been fooling with trying to learn 4.0-S before I > put it on my main machine.
