yes, a sandisk 2-in-1. When I log in normally I get a few of those messages, no big deal. This rebooting, though, seems to go in a loop and it never boots. Do you think the usb card reader is the problem? Strange cause it worked before. Go figure. When I'm feeling a little braver and have more sleep I'll see what unplugging the reader and removing the line from /etc/fstab does. Todd
