It's always frustrating to diagnose things like that, without being able to effectively pause and restart the kernel messages. Booting with a serial console is, I think, the preferred solution. One thing you could do is put in an IDE drive and put a basic root partition on it -- at least enough to boot into a recovery shell. Then you can look around at dmesg, etc. It's not elegant, but it's an idea. Dustin -- [email protected] mailing list
