Hello Raimondo, Thank you for keeping the list up-to-date with your experiments. I certainly agree that the ability to boot the system without those boot-line parameters is definite progress. What would be nice -- for all users of el6 systems -- is once you have identified the problem area, that you provide the details upstream (to Red Hat) so that they have the opportunity to back-port a fix. Once done, that will then trickle back down to SL, etc. Alan.
