Hi Brujin,

to be honest I have no idea where this message comes from. We do not try
to install a file system during booting. All we do there (mcstub.vxd) is
to register a network connection. This connection will be established
later, when relay is started (this loads the real coda file system
kernel module) and mount.exe (or mount button in codastart) is called.
Do you see this message every time you reboot your machine?

I think your problem is related to a bug I fixed a couple of days ago.
It will make it in the next release. To find out if this is your problem
I put a special version of codadev.vxd (codadev-5.2.0-2.zip) on our ftp
server. Try this one (put it in c:\usr\coda\bin) and let me know if it
works or not.

cheers
