Hi John, I believe that's a dump of the CPU's accumulators, but what really matters is that it normally means that your floppy disk is bad. It's happened to me several times and in all but one case recreating the floppy fixed it. The one case that recreating the floppy didn't fix it turned out to be a loose connection on the floppy drive itself. If you've compiled your own kernel you should be able to cd to "/usr/src/linux" and do a "make bzdisk" to recreate your floppy. John -- Powered by the Penguin
