Its not hanging at activating swap, since it says "done". Its hanging on the next command. Look in /etc/rcS.d, the directory that contains numbered symlinks to /etc/init.d used for the initial startup. On my i386 system, the script after S35mountall.sh is S36discover and then S36mountall-bootclean.sh. You can edit /etc/default/rcS and change VERBOSE=no to VERBOSE=yes to get more output of some commands the scripts run. Don't modify the initscripts themselves. They should work. If they don't, a whole lot of people would be complaining. Also, check the /var/log/boot file. Some messages go here instead of the console, that is if you have bootlog enabled in /etc/default/bootlogd. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
