Benjamin wrote ************************** Hello, can it be that you had a wrong capitalization in your search ? What is the result of a 'grep -i -R "kernel panic" /var/log/*' ? Also try some other sequence you have seen instead of "kernel panic". They must be somewhere in /var/log ;-) You also have to be root to view these files. __________________________ Benjamin Duehring, FORWISS| *************************************** Benjamin Thanks for the suggestion and quick response. I ran the grep command as you suggested - with variations on the "kernel panic" text - and I found no log records that contained any of the messages that had appeared on the console. Maybe none of these messages are written to a log file ??? IF true, seems difficult to diagnose such problems. Regards Clive
