List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: It is probably asking if you want to correct the failure but that isn't being read for some reason. Try typing yes and hirtting enter. you may need to do this MANY times before it will finish booting. Red Hat (and most linuxes I think) will wait for user input if it finds an error while rebooting instead of fixing the computer as best it can and finishing the boot process. Not the best way for an OS thats supposed to work well for a server but you get what you pay for. HtH, Owen Smith ender3rd@wpi.edu On Mon, 30 Sep 2002, Thomas Ward wrote: > Hello, list.
