	Can't help you with the boot mixup, as I'm still running  the
Shane 2.6.18-686 kernel for Debian, but I also use the beep and spd-say
programs to let me know when the system is ready for login and which
interface is active.  I'm running Debian unstable and occasionallly
the audio or video systems fail to start on occasion.  Using a bell
character (Ctrl+G), the beep, and/or spd-say programs to  monitor what
goes on might help.  In the meantime, hitting reset before the system
exits read-only mode of operation won't hurt.  Now that I'm thinking
about it, putting a distinct beep  at the point where the system
switches to read-write mode is a good idea to implement myself.  Thanks.
