    Hi Jan,

    that helps some -- got rid of most of the messages except one about
    shpchp, which is not listed in my /etc/modules, so don't know the
    origin. Unfortunately cna't post my bootlog b/c bootlogd doesn't seem
    to wantto run! I have the following /et/default/bootlogd:
    # Run bootlogd at startup ?
    BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes

    ... but still no /var/log/boot. Not sure what that's about; I noticed
    another thread from someone with a similar difficulty, no solution
    posted, not sure what's going on.

    anyway, that was a great start, thanks!

    matt
