Hello from Gregg C Levine Um, Todd, way to go choosing Slackware, that's what I use. Now what's this about the slowness of the bootup scripts? I use Slackware here, and about all I can say, it's a bit strange about those scripts. Of course, this is version, 8.0, I haven't ordered copies of 8.1 on CD yet. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Thanks for the response!
I assume this is redhat 7. The slowness of the bootup scripts has managed to almost eliminate the speed of boot you get with
linuxbios. It's
depressing.
No, sorry, It's Slackware 8.1 and about half the boot scripts have
been
remarked out.
I believe this has been solved, Andrew Ip and Ollie are the experts
on
this one.
That's great, I have been relying on USB...
This sounds like an IRQ table problem. Did you get a chance to run getpir and compare to linuxbios getpir?
No, but I will certainly so this!
what features do you use? we're weak in this area and could use
help.
I primarily have been using ACPI for startup & shutdown. Startup will always work when there is momentary contact to the power header. ACPI fails to load which causes it to not see the power button. There is
not
an ACPI directory under /proc, so ACPID has nothing to watch for (ex: Momentary contact on the power button to initiate `shutdown`.
