The menu in which you can disable devices basically just scans what modules you have compiled into your kernel, and lets you disable them. When it asks you if you want to save the configuration, if you click yes, it creates a small boot script that basically is composed of "di <devicename>"s. It could look like this: di wdc1 di sio0 di sio1 q I think it is somewhere in the boot directory. Anyways, if you recompiled your kernel without some of these devices, when the script attempts to disable them, it gives an error that the device was not found since it is no longer in the kernel. If you want to get rid of these annoying messages, just remove the "di" lines from the script. Find the script using grep (I think `grep "di " *`, though I can't be sure... I'm a newbie myself :)) -- Oren Sarig sarig@isdn.net.il At 14:37 27/10/99 -0500, Gene Harris wrote: >No, I don't have this file either.
