Hey all,

I'm getting 8 or 10 errors when i boot, heres my console output, as close as i can retype it

INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
su(pam_unix)[299]: session opened for user dsl by (uid=0)
Using Xvesa default 1024x768x32 -mouse "/dev/psaux",5 mouse
(Now heres where the errors start)

(At this point, x starts, only to shut down in about 20 seconds time...)

After this i get some insmod errors, and then get dumped to a cmd prompt. I think the main problem is the cloop errors, because every time i enter any command i get those cloop errors in my output.

Any suggestions?

I've had similar errors before which were fixed by disabling dma on the offending drive. I'm not sure on DSL, but I believe you can boot with the kernel parameter "nodma".
