I booted RH 8 to run level 3 and started xfs according to the
instructions of your previous post. It started without any complain but
when I stutdown the system there was a message like "stopping xfs
failed".

Thanks for information. I just remember that convention now.
Seems to be due to problems with my officeJet connected via usb and SMP
kernel. There is a patch now, but I didn't apply it yet.
My mouse is a PS/2 and works fine in runlevel 3.

Sorry, it says:

I slept well during that time, the system rebooted unattended :-)

nothing there.

OK, might be the best solution to reinstall the system. Fortunately I
already have separate partitions for /home, /usr/local, /opt and some
subdirs of /var/lib which I backup regularly (but not the system
partition :-) )
Thanks at all
