It seems that debian was not really shutdown... maybe you pressed the power switch while it's still trying to shut itself? try the command "shutdown -r now" you could see visually that it has indeed shutdown because it has rebooted. I also have an adaptec 2940 UW, 2.0 Gb Seagate. regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Andre M.
