Yep, the new initscripts worked. Now just have to get my SOundBlaster Live working (correct module, worked in 8.2, not in RC3).

The problem with /usr is however a major headache - I never have /usr integrated with /, either at home or at work. I just hope this will be fixed for 9.0 final. For the moment I'm doing a re-install so that I can play with some of the options. The VFS message looks like the one I've seen, although I've never got a good look at it. The "Have a nice day..." bit sounds like a piece of kernel code however :-) Alan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Götz Waschk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 8:45 AM Subject: Re: [Cooker] RC3 Bugs (second try) Hi, I'd like to comment some of your problems.

At the moment there are still problems with /usr on a separate partition. You could try to install again with /usr on the root partition. > 3.

The usb script requires a binary from /usr, but that partition in't mounted then. This has been fixed in initscripts 10mdk. > 4.

Not sure what these messages meant, and they appeared and disappered so quickly I was not able to work out excatly what they said. I also had this problem, however I could identify the message: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... That message is from fs/super.c I am not a kernel hacker, but I think some partition didn't umount successfully, maybe you could try to disable supermount and see if this helps. -- Götz Waschk <> master of computer science <> University of Rostock http://wwwtec.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~waschk/waschk.asc for PGP key --> Logout Fascism! <--
