Re: Error on harddrive when booting

Sorry, no help on the Compaq, just an idea on how to bypass pressing the "F1". Maybe you can set your BIOS to boot ignoring all errors or whatever. I had a similar problem on an older 486 but it had the ability to boot through selectable errors in the BIOS, like no keyboard, whatever. It

List; Well, I have not totally figured out how this is happening. What I do know is that /etc/inittab gets altered when the /etc/init.d/pcmcia script is run. After a bit of looking around in that file, I realized my skill is not refined enough to see what mechanism actually alters it. But it

Jeremy and Russell; Thanks for more pieces of the puzzle. The offending code is actually in /etc/pcmcia/serial. the chattr +i /etc/inittab command nuked the behaviour but I'll edit that script to fix it when I get to the console on the laptop The relevant lines in /etc/pcmcia/serial:
