I was trying to disable ACPI by editing device.hints, and left some garbage at the start of the file. Now I find the kernel won't boot - you get to the little Daemon flash page, and then kernel load goes on and after the first line of boot, the star fails to spin. I've got a spare copy of the root partition on /dev/ac1s1a but I can't seem to boot from there. This box is very unhappy with ACPI. If I boot from floppies the emergency shell doesn't seem to include a copy of mount, so I can't rectify the fault. Is there an easy survival route? Thanks in advance for any advice. --- Andy Holyer, Technical stuff Hedgehog Broadband, 11 Marlborough Place Brighton BN1 1UB 08451 260895 x 241
