thanks, but from your post it sounds like you still had some problems with your kernel. I think I'll wait until 2.6.0 proper is released before I try that.. I don't really think that my problem is related to that anyway. My fstab is kinda messed.. Everything gets mounted correctly but it generates a lot of errors on boot.. So I'm thinking devfs may not be able to handle the errors as gracefully. I'll fix that first.. ~leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
