I am working in Centos5.5. Pen drive, hard disk, cd are not being recognised. During booting, "mounting local filesystems [failed]" is displayed among other errors which I am unable to see as the messages proceed fast. Are these messages stored in some file, so that I can check them and report all the errors that are displayed during booting. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Among many messages that 'dmesg' displays, the following seems to indicate that something might be wrong: mtrr:type mismatch for c1fe0000,10000 old:write-back new:write-combining I can't understand what does the above mean? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The problem occurred after I downloaded and compiled the package for enabling wireless on the laptop from the site ' www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php' which I got to know from the site 'wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom' -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know many people who would spend the time to figure out what you're talking about unless they were on an hourly retainer.
