Thanks, sleep was what it ( and I could do with some too!) needed! - I should have thought of that :( Had a typo from previous debugging efforts for another problem in the genkernel initramfs scripts. Now the only errors are /tmp and sometimes /var (both on lvm) are still busy so the lvm wont stop on shutdown - minor I think. BillK
