Wouldn't HD damage affect execution before the reboot? System has been up all through the weekend, and I had rebooted and gone through LILO four days ago. I think it has something to do with the way the rescue disk is starting the system. Not sure, however. The boot sequence goes quite a way, until it gets to loading this module. I'm inclined to think the disk is OK. morgan
