Dale, I have a PITA intermittent error on bootup which causes the monitor to go into irrecoverable standby before Xstartup. The only way I can get out of it is to re-boot, when I get : "Your filesystem appears........", etc. I press Y and usually it goes through checking and putting all the filesystems to right and then runs normally. (The filesystem is ext3). I *have* had exactly the same message as you once... "**********REBOOT LINUX**********" I re-booted straight away and the re-boot went back to the usual "Your filesystem appears...." but then carried on and corrected whatever needed correcting and ran normally. However, what appears to happen is that the journalling system reverts you to a previous state of the system (??the last one that worked - don't know).As far as I can tell there don't seem to be any fragments or rubbish laying around that need clearing up manually. Hope this helps. DougB
