First boot of 2.6.20-rc4 here, in the messages scrolling by, the nptd startup failed. But after fully booting and x was started, a restart worked, albeit it took several seconds for the startup phase. NDI if it means anything or not. And maybe I'm seeing the effects of this ext3 bug that's hurting kernel.org here, it seems the x startup has everything 100% serialized now and that's slow as snails. A good 15-17 seconds from the background image being loaded to all the shells reopened I left open when I logged out of x, and gkrellm is all restarted. With a cpu running at 2.1 ghz, and a 333mhz FSB, I'd think that should be 2, maybe 3 seconds. And I think I can recall times like that when I was running ext2 in a past life. I'm hoping whatever fixes kernel.org will filter back to us peons in due time. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
