You never know but when something strange pops up. If you aren't using the defaults, killing the CPU and FLAGS are a place to start. It is too easy to add the "#" and then delete if nothing changes. For example, my 5-stable is an athlon-xp and somewhere in time, I commented the CPU out. The default FLAGS is "-O -pipe" and so, I don't supply them either. I have been going to try and find what the boot parameter is. The delay at the start is not needed. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
