This line looks odd to me. I do not have anything like it. Anyone any idea what it is for? (I looked it up on the web and could not understand the explanation http://www.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/~rguenth/linux/binfmt_misc.html) Also. This has nothing to do with your problem, but you appear to be using Ext2 filesystem. This means that if you have to shutdown 'ungracefully' you risk corrupting your filesystem resulting in a tedious fsck or worse. Upgrading to Ext3 is real easy and will not lose your data. I believe tune2fs will do the job for you http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=2831&highlight=ext3 derek
