You mean in the grub boot edit function? At boot-up ? Where I
put it, /boot/grub/menu.lst It didn't help... Same fault.
Sorry about that.. It was not a problem until the 2.6.30 update I did
about 9/14- 9/15 time frame... the problem came up after the next
boot. I had to shut down for a storm... I don't trust UPS's for
protection..8-(
TIA, Jack
