Hello, This might be a bit off-topic, and I apologize. But I think this might be a FS problem I'm having with ext3 (but I'm not sure). I finally got RH 7.2 to install on my new box. The box looks like: Epox 8KHA+ motherboard (KT 266A chipset) 512 Meg DDR DRAM WD 200BB HD S3 Savage 2000 64 Meg card (set at AGP 4x) NEC 5FGp monitor Intel NIC CD floppy I partitioned the HD to look like, /boot /dev/hda1 100 Megs ext2 / /dev/hda2 4 Gigs ext3 /usr/local /dev/hda3 3 Gigs ext3 /opt /dev/hda5 3 Gigs ext3 /swap /dev/hda6 1 Gig /usr/home /dev/hda7 8.95 Gigs ext3 I could not get the X installed for RH 7.2 to work at all, so I used the text based installer. When I tried to configure X during the last phase of the installation, it would never come up. So I gave up and figure I'd come back latter. When I reboot the box, I get some error messages when it starts the xfs service, but they flash by too fast to read. However, the login prompt comes up and I try loging-in as myself and root. I get the same error message, p->minfo.mi_magic2 == 0x5555 Stopping myself.... and the login is frozen. I switch to another virtual console and of course I get the exact same thing. Any ideas what this error message means? The install went fine (as far as I could tell). I think this is a filesystem error, but I'm not sure. TIA, Jeff
