Hello Eric,
Thnx...the result is in the line of your answer! I saw something about sda and sdb (i have 2 drives) just before that error. But do i also have to change my fstab file ? And if i change my fstab file, i will not be able to startup with a previous configuration ? Do you have an grub example ? Thnx alot!

You will also need to change hda to sda in grub because it's now going to be seen as a SCSI device at boot time. -- Eric Gaumer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Disclaimer : This e-mail is intended for the exclusive use by the person(s) mentioned as recipient(s).
