removing this script (harddisks) from /etc/sysinit solved the kernel panic problem. However, on my 2 machines (same motherboard and proc) I have to reboot sometimes 2 or 3 times for the boot to complete. It stops somewhere at random places after setting keytable (time dependent problem ?) -- Pascal Cavy - VMF __________________________________________________________________ Running 1:31, 9 users, load average: 0.24, 0.20, 0.16 (gcc version 3.2.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.1-2mdk)) Kernel Linux version 2.4.21-0.pre3.1mdkenterprise
