Don't know about this problem, but why are do you keep just about every module under the sun loaded? Also do you think its reiserfs thats causing the problems? (I see you also have ext2 and ext3 modules loaded). What is your root's file system (the question is raised since its supposed to be compiled in and I see reiserfs, ext2 and ext3 are modules). ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
