Hi, John! Just a general idea: Have a look at init scripts for the runlevels you have tried to start your system with and find the differencies. After that try to disable services that are not actual to runlevel 1 and enable them one by one to find out which of them prevents your system from booting. -- Denis > John > > ******************************************************************** > This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.
