Thanks for the response; understand completely about the job pressures ;^) The failure mode is the equivalent of someone hitting the reset button on the box after the kernel prints the following: -------------------------------------------------------- VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 272k freed --------------------------------------------------------- Normally, the kernel would go on to starting up INIT, etc.: ---------------------------------------------------------- Freeing unused kernel memory: 272k freed INIT: version 2.85 booting System Boot Control: Running /etc/init.d/boot ---------------------------------------------------------- Regards, -Chait. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
