The problem seems to be with the 3c509 card and some of the device probing. I rebooted (with -c) and disabled ep0, and everything the system boots fine. (I should have thought of that! Thanks Steve!). The question now is WHAT exactly is causing this problem. I'm going to spend some time to try and narrow down the probe conflict. I'll post if I know more. bill ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Arbaugh "Waste of time is the most waarbau@super.org extravagant of all expenses" waa@dsl.cis.upenn.edu -Theophrastus ----------------------------------------------------------------
