Hi Jeff, IMHO, there is not always a direct connection between the displayed message and problematic device(different initialization latencies). For example pccard on my laptop: I got them after the login prompt is displayed :) Try also a "boot -v", maybe you can pinpoint the problem. Did 4.8 work on your lap? Maybe you should include the ata0: ata1: displayed messages (got while you do a cold boot) to your question. Good luck /Dorin. --- jam6@cec.wustl.edu wrote: > Dorin-- > > My laptop has both a serial port and a parallel > port.
