I'll try copying that error file tonight (as someone told me). The swap mounts correctly in graphical mode, I get ALL Green Checkmarks when it boots. I'll also search /etc/ for any 'kswapd' text. thanks Don that would probably be kswapd - unfortunately I tried 'man kswapd' and came up empty. How about posting the exact error message(s) (and some context!)? Otherwise we're just shooting in the dark with our eyes closed! Given that, I'll take a random shot: What does your fstab say is your swap partition? Is it mounting correctly? rc Rusty Carruth Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (480) 345-3621 SnailMail: Schlumberger ATE FAX: (480) 345-8793 7855 S.
