This is possibly because you upgraded instead of installing. You are still using devfs instead of udev. To fix it. Install udev Edit /etc/lilo.conf and in each stanza in the 'append' line change the devfs option to 'devfs=nomount' Then run 'lilo -v' to rewrite your boot sector. Then reboot. During the boot sequence you should see a message about using udev. Thats it! Your log in should now be much faster. HTH derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
