Haha, this would still make you look at the code to remember was it "fatal local" or "local fatal" the second one. Yeah, there's the "!" but still. How about: "Fatal local machine check after banks scan" or so. Btw, the code in do_machine_check() has become one helluva spaghetti mess. It could use some clean up a bit... :) -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) --
