How are you trying to initialize it? ie what are you running? Did it hang during installation, or is it subsequent attempts to initialize that hang? Just making sure you're not trying to run oninit directly from the command line, UNIX style. Also if you run "onstat -m" from an IDS command window when it appears to hang, what do you see?

If not, you killed the oninit too soon, the time spent was in creating and padding the initial chunk. It's one problem with using COOKED files for IDS chunks. Art S.
