I was not able to get past the 'changing root device to wd0s1a' message with version 5, so I just went back to the wd driver. Last nigh I tried version 6 and ran into the same problem. I finally decided to do a little investigating. First I found that I could do a 'ctrl-alt-del' to reboot. I then decided to install the debug kernel doing a 'make install.debug' in my kernel build directory. Lo! and behold! to my surprise my box booted flawlessly. The questions I have are 1) Why did the debug kernel boot and not the kernel without debug symbols? 2) What procedures/tools should I use to investigate this further? Of course any help/pointers are appreciated ... Thanxs. #;^) i'khala -- natty rebel harder than the rest ...
