thanks - actually the entries were already there - only the delay for grub was 1 second. I changed it to a bigger figure and was able to run the memtest - did not give any errors. Now that I recall I have done this several times in the past. Am I supposed to run the memtest for 12 hours or is one pass enough? -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
