That's a very strange error for bash to be giving... Because, unless you changed the script from before, there is no $ in it at all! i'm stumped... for the moment. > When booting now I see the following.... > > Partition check: > hda: hda1 hda2 > VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. > Adding Swap: 20940 swap-space (priority -1) > > Exqueeze me, but what is VFS and is the fact that my Mounted root (hda1) is > readonly correct? That's completely normal. i forget exactly what VFS stands for (Virtual File System?), but the root partition is always mounted readonly until it can be checked.

Maybe that is street smart, but it'll come in handy sooner or later That's the best way to learn! Just get in there and do it...
