More > digging. hey! good deal. i think you were having a problem with the serial controller. i don't understand why this is, but i was having the same problem on my guinea pig machine. i would think that 9load has done it's job successfully. but somehow, fossil is not configured correctly. i would be interested in the output of fossil/flconf when booted from the cd. can you mount fossil when you boot from cd? one final question. how many sata drives do you have (including cdroms)? - erik
