Nope. Usually this means something went terribly wrong in hardware. Pullling a hard drive out of the system while it is running is an easy way to duplicate this problem, as it will cause the kernel to enter an interminable reset loop to try and recover. Problems with network filesystems could also cause something similar. You should check dmesg output to see if the kernel is complaining about something. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
