It is just that I have no way of saving logs or posting information without taking a picture, I would to put all doubts away. As of know I will rebuild world, install new kernel remove all ports and start from scratch. If I can't get it to work with a fresh start. I will wait for BETA 3 or an RC :) I just want to help in testing, it is that I can't supply the information as I would like to :( But I will keep many posted on this. Regards, Antonio
