And that's probably a good idea since he can get to the terminal from Recovery mode. Also, keep in mind what initramfs is; a temporary file system that is loaded into memory... could also be that the problem system has a hardware memory issue. </blockquote><div> Hi NoOp, I also guess the isssue of memory, there is a message am seeing on the machine itself, am about to get back into server room, and I will tell what is that message. But so frustrating. The machine is having 3 hard disks. Goh advised me to change the hard disk. I inserted on disk at a time, leave the two, and re-installing. The first failed, giving the same message. The second one worked. I inserted back the other two disks, formatting them and booting the machine. The same error message again appeared. </div></div>-- Emmanuel Natalis Open Source Software Developer University of Dar es salaam Computing Center (+255) 712 26 34 93 (+255) 755 22 44 93
