If it is the kernel, do you get this (/dev/hdd is mounted on /cdrom so I tried both): smurf:~# fuser -muv /cdrom smurf:~# fuser -muv /dev/hdd smurf:~# umount /cdrom umount: /cdrom: device is busy smurf:~# I don't use the drive very often so the reboot can wait until I get a more pressing reason. I think this may have been what killed my Windows boot this evening. /cdrom is exported by Samba and it wasn't until I commented out the relevant lines in smb.conf that Win would successfully boot up. I ended up killing the install last night since it was so painfully slow on the 8Mb 486 (it required swap just to run the setup script). I shoved the drive into the P133 and it was quite happy until it ran out of space. 500Mb isn't enough, and I didn't even install X! I think I'll skip the kernel source... I'll bake a fresh kernel on the other box. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/ (out of date)
