I did see some SIO..... type error whiz by during boot. I had the /etc/init.d/network script in verbose mode and it occured after the 'route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo' line. Thanks for taking a peek at this. Is there any way to trap all the output of the boot scripts to a log file? This would be really useful as people migrate to the 2.2.x kernels and have to debug boot scripts. /etc/init.d/network (stripped of comments) route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 /usr/local/bin/socks5 -i -t % ifconfig -n lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:14991 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14991 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:70:3F:20 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:74926 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:64238 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:1 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x280 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:128.46.112.30 P-t-P:128.46.112.98 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:552 Metric:1 RX packets:29700 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:21323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 % route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 128.46.112.98 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 128.46.112.98 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
