I believe my problems may have been cause by a bad scanner and/or bad cabling. I've been trying to rip audio CDs with 'grip' on Linux using an external HP SCSI burner that rips about 3.6x speed--EIDEs do about 0.5-1.5x on my system--and it was acting as if each CD had scratches. I finally disconnected a scanner and it's cable, moved the terminator to the HP and it's ripping along fine now. I'll reboot in the next few days and I'll bet I'll find my boot problems have gone away. I think I may have somehow introduced the SCSI cabling problems, or the scanner started to flake, etc., about the same time I moved to 2.4.6 and 2.4.7.. So I thought this might be a driver problem introduced, but.. maybe not :) I really appreciate the work you and Doug do, and the support you provide in times like this when things aren't working the way they should. Sorry for what is probably a false alarm! Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maxwell Spangler "Don't take the penguin too seriously.
