Probably you are booting with the "quiet" kernel option. 2139 has a bug that causes it not to respect that option, so it keeps spewing to the console. You could try removing the "quiet" option from the kernel command line in grub. If, instead, booting takes 20 seconds longer than before, well, removing the "quiet" option may still help. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
