Hi, That is exactly what I see on my laptop when it boots up. However, everything is OK on my desktop. Is this a problem with SuSE scripts which launch these failing services, or with specified options in /etc/modprobe.conf file? I've noticed, that prefix 'snd_' for alsa modules was deprecated but wasn't removed from options in /etc/modprobe.conf That caused alsa start up failure. Could it be the similar case with these failed services? Alex.
It doesn't look that way from what I see in /var/log/boot.msg, I also don't get these failure with the SuSE kernel. I suspect hotplug for some of it as on previous2.6.0-pre kernels, I had to get rid of it to get it to boot minus my usb stuff.
