The machine is located remotely, I'll have to go over there to check it out, I'll also make a note of the error message, (and try not to loose it 8). > > Booting hangs after the "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle.." message. > > The probe complains about somthing, but I lost the bit of paper the > > messages were scribbled on (darn darn darn!). > > Well, I've got a few questions: > > - It sounds like you must be booting off an IDE disk.
