For now, I have swapping turned on for wd1 as well as wd0, and this seems to work. But, since I consider this a kludge I would like to get pointed in the right direction for fixing it. The problem I got was the fsck on boot would hang my machine solid as a rock. After I took the fsck out and was going to mount by hand it still wasn't working. I could not fsck the parition either..This would also hang the machine solid as well. I could howver mount, umount, and then fsck just fine.... Wierd, but true. I also seem to get extra interupts on the controller every so often. I tracked down in wd.c where it is printing these, and may just turn it off unless someone can show me a problem with doing this. Any ideas or pointers? James Configuration: 486/33 with 8M of ram. 2 IDE hard drives -- 202 meg Western Digital 63 meg Seagate
