Bug has been reported according to Bugzilla.
My test system is older P3 866MHZ Intel board. I had shutdown problem with 10.2 but it was apparently fixed by an update. Tried disabling ACPI and APM on startup but did not help on 10.3. I will try your suggestion. My production system is a 75GB IDE, 2 320GB SATA drives supposed to be RAID 1 but 10.2 does not reconize the second drive. I think I have them on the wrong sata ports. There on 1 &2 think they need to be 3&4. Thanks for your help. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
