Hi Clive, well its now 6 hours in and it still hasn't booted! ;-D But in those six hours I reckon I know what this is. And I think it's my fault, but I might need a bit of help to fix it! My guess it is hanging on my CIFS mount in /etc/fstab. I added the following line in there to mount my shared music drive on my WHS. //themacserver/music /mnt/PaulsMusic cifs username=Paul,password=my_password 0 0 so is something wrong here? I know I can put my username and password in a credentials file, but for speed I put it in the fstab directly (which I believe is o.k.). I used 0 on the end digit because I think I remember a note in the UI file system page suggesting I should do this for a shared drive (although examples I have seen use 2), could this be the issue? Anything else wrong with my entry (by the way, I did put my proper password in, not 'my_password'!) Now I could test my theory but starting from scratch again but I am going to try and recover. I borrowed a null modem cable and I will try and get that going in a moment. If I can get it talked to the serial port I might need a bit of advice on how to edit the /etc/fstab if its not obvious. I'll let you know how I get on. If anyone can tell me if my idea is plausible and how to fix it that would be really useful, Cheers CW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chunkywizard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
