Im getting a strange message when starting and stoppping kernel daemons. It has "invalid token symbol 63". Something to do with INTERFACES=(eth0). Somehow its being read as 'INTERFACES=(eth0)'.
This '' do not show up in nano or kwrite when i try to edit rc.conf. How do i get rid of them?

Hi, could you paste your:
ifconfig
the whole error msg
and
/etc/rc.conf

When the kernel gets to the loadng of daemon part, the daemons load fine but they also have this under it "Unexpected syntax error near token '(". Then it also says " error on line 63 'INTERFACES=(eth0)' "
I think the problem is those '' around INTERFACES=eth0. I tried to edit them out but they were not visible. Heres my rc.conf

Here's your problem:
MODULES=(#snd_pcsp)
P.S. Please use code tags when posting conf files etc.

Awesome thanks it worked. But im still having one more annoyance. The network part always says FAIL but my internet works fine. Is there something wrong in my settings?

Re-arange your daemons to
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng hal @fam @sensors @netfs @crond g15daemon vboxdrv @alsa @network kdm )
probably you dont need netfs. g15daemon and vboxdrv... don't know them.
its not suposed to give errors like this. And it will speedup things a little

g15daemon is for my g15 keyboard and vboxdrv is the driver for virtualbox. Is vboxdrv supposed to go in daemon's or modules?

Check if vboxdrv exists inside /etc/rc.d folder... if not... it's a module. Try modinfo vboxdrv (if its a module, it will return some information about it).

Yep its a module. Thanks a lot guys. Not only did i fix my problems but i increased my boot speed too. Its lighting fast. Now if only GRUB wouldnt take so damn long.
P.S= i got rid of fam. is it needed?

install gamin and remove fam from daemon list.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
