Urk, personally, I'd be more worried than that. I've normally only seen timeouts like that when a) The hard disk was about to die b) The disk geometry was configured incorrectly, and the kernel was trying to seek past the end of the disk c) A bug in the kernel was simulating one of the first two.

I noticed the error message mentioned 'timeout' so I thought I'd let the system work it through. I watched the first half of 'Pearl Harbour' (not recommended) and came back to find the logon screen waiting for me. It's twice rebooted without problems since then. I put it down to software teething problems and the unexpected arrival of an upgrade which remembers the settings of the previous user session. It threw me for a while, but I'm impressed.

Apologies for the alarm. I've managed to fix it - at least until the next reboot (sickly grin). Cheers, Adam Bogacki, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
