I already tried that - it yields the exact same errors produced while booting... One thing I noticed just now while booting, was that the error messages were referencing sdc1 and not sdb1 (different than those messages I found in the system log that I posted in my last message) they go by so fast I wasn't really able to get much out of them - is there some way of capturing those messages that appear while booting? I know the boot.log is non-existent, but is there another way? I guess I could go into interactive boot-up and just write all that stuff down by hand when I get to that section of the boot... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
