I'm beginning to think so. I'm going to reinstall without the any-any patch. On the other hand, the any-any patch is not the cause of the unregister_netdevice error--I applied it hoping it would help with that, and it seems to have only made things worse. I turned off the vmware service and haldaemon stopped crashing. Not sure yet if that's related to the patch or the original problem. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
