I was simply stating that my warm boots work fine other then the above
little issue.

I don't and never said I was trying to reboot often.  I was just trying to=
=20
assist in his research regarding the issue he described.  I simply stated=
=20
that I have not been having the same experiances as him, but rather told=20
him of another problem during warm boots.  Perhaps you need to re-read the=

Also, is there a reason these replies are being sent directly to me rather=
=20
then to the list?  Perhaps I'm unaware of how things are done on this list=
=20
as I am new to it.  At any rate, I'm replying this to the list as I did=20
the last.  If this list is setup to just post a question on the list and=20
then everything else is send individually, let me know - I have never=20
experianced a list like that however.

Still no word on the original problem, eh? :)
