I currently do security updates, but I did not upgrade all packages on the system. I already thought about trying RedHat 7.2 or 7.3 to see if the problem still exists. The current system is RedHat 7.1. Generally I don't have a problem with stability in 7.1 except when running in this configuration with CDRW and vmware usage. > Also check your VMWare version - 3.2 is the latest. It is VMware-3.0.

Trying 8 would be a step too far, I agree. Thanks for your ideas, kind regards, Urte -- \|/ @ @ ---------------------------------------------------oOO-(_)-OOo------------- All wiyht.
