"something similar" isn't similar enough. We need the exact message, along with a lot of other information: - What kind of system is it? - How did you install the software? - Was it an upgrade or a new installation? - If it was an upgrade, what were you upgrading from? - Did you install new boot blocks? - Did you build your own kernel? - What was the exact message you got (yes, this is a repeat) - When did you get it? > When we switched to the 3.0 CD-ROM, the system loaded and booted > fine.
