Hi, You nailed it, Andy. It was the kernel (and a bad disk that was failing intermittently). I am now on -22 (and may go to -24), and the disk is being replaced. It wasn't -19, though, it was the disk.
Funny, the disk didn't "fail" for a long time, it just acted weird. It would cause me to boot the wrong kernel, fail to pick up some of the boot files (thus the "lights of death") and then start working fine?? Finally it did me a favor and died. Didn't expect that - new disk! Best, Gene On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 8:35 AM, Andy Whitcroft<[email protected]> wrote: > That sounds like a kernel crash (the capslock lights flashing).
