I'm not sure what was wrong with init to be honest, I checked the boot logs of previous sucessfull boots & noted that init was the first thing that was started after freeing the unused kernel memory, seems so obvious now I could kick myself as we all know that "init comes first" right?. Since that seemed to be the part that was failing I figured reinstalling init would either make or break the situation, things couldn't get much worse at that point so I went for it & it payed off :-) -- Mark Farmer RHCT Registered Linux User 353158 farmorg@xxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
