I did two test installs on Sunday. First, I did a simple install and setup /home on a logical volume made up of sda3 and hda2. It failed to boot properly becuase ide_disk was not loaded and the vg could not be brought up. I then reinstalled the exact same way, but placed ide_disk in /target/etc/modules prior to the reboot - everything worked fine. jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
