Thanks again for the right info. Now the thing boots from the hard drive, prints a bunch of probe messages, and locks up solid after "apm0: disabled, not probed." Seems this is where I was a few days ago when you gave me the tip on flags npx0 1. Shouldn't that flag have been saved somewhere while "updating kernel with -c changes"? Now waiting for battery to discharge to try and boot with -c. Paul
