How far does it get in the boot process? I didn't get past the first message. I thought about what you said about cold booting. And then I thought it might help if I enabled the APIC. Then I thought maybe I should start going to bed earlier. I enabled the APIC this morning when I got into work and now I got the expected results: boot went fine until xdm started and then the machine paniced. Of course, X had already grabbed the screen, so I couldn't see the exact nature of the panic. [seg] I'm telling ya though, those ugly grey on red kernel messages almost make me want to switch back to the syscons driver. Ugh, who made that decision, and WHY? ;-) -Matt ----- Matt White Email: mwhite+@cmu.edu http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/mwhite/www/
