    Hi All

    Today I restarted my SuSE 8.2 box and a red message came up : "'failed".
    I looked in the startup log and below you can see the result.
    Although there seems to be nothing wrong , I'm still curious to find out what
    and why this message came up.
    Anybody an idea?

    Thanks.
