By any chance did you happen to delete an empty directory off the root called /initrd (I think) just before this trouble began? If you did, grab CD #1, boot with 'linux rescue', mount the system read-write, and recreate that directory. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
