>The first line of dmesg should give you a clue - it gives you the boot
paramaters. BE CAREFUL here though - up2date utterly trashed one of my
poweredges by up2date'ing the kernel while I was using grub and left it
completely unbootable. It was a week before I did a reboot - and it
wasn't until then that I noticed. Even booting off the rescue CD
couldn't sort it out. (booting off the debian CD did though <g>)
