I had the same problem earlier (Oct last year) which I _think_ was with kernel 2.4.8-26mdk. When I searched the Mandrake website I found that they had already been notified of the problem and were at the time working on a fix. They recommended booting with the devfs=nomount option. That certainly fixed my problem. Although I'm using a newer kernel now, I can't say whether that problem still exists in the newer kernels because I still boot with the devfs=nomount option (I can't get the hang of devfs). So I guess you could try editing your /etc/lilo.conf file and in the "append" line add or change the devfs bit. Good luck. skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
