Thank you very much for the feedback!

Did you select the GentooX option in the setup?  GentooX has a bash script
called blink for editing startup and shutdown led patterns.  The binary
for actually manipulating the LED is called led.  If you did you might
also check the value of XboxBlinkBin in the database.  If you have
selected GentooX it should be set to led.

I'd be interested in hearing if you still have freezing problems after
this is resolved.  I'm having some, no where near as frequent or soon as
you describe that I'm thinking are related to the xbox stuff.  I need to
recompile for debugging again.

Thanks again,
Michael
