OK, now the system that was running so beautifully after the upgrade is
now in a setup loop. Every time I boot up, after doing nothing but
shutting it down after writing this early morning's E-mail, I press
alt+f2, type orca and press enter, I get "Welcome to orca setup." Then I
have to play 20 questions all over again. Any ideas? What happened
between shutting the system down, and restarting eight hours later? Any
ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Guy
