Hello, A long time ago, I posted that with kernel upgrade, the module insertion hangs till I hit enter. I ran hwdetect and updated the modules array, sans the standard acpi modules and it now works reliably every time. It can boot unattended now. AFAIK, the module-names and functionality is prone to changes from kernel to kernel. Should we automatically run hwdetect or advise users to check it in case of kernel upgrade? -- Shridhar
