Probably, you've set the wrong boot partition. Presumably, it can mount the partition that it *thinks* is root, otherwise you'ld have a "Panic: Can't mount root fs". If you're using LILO, you can pass the root partition at the boot: prompt; e.g., boot: linux root=/dev/hda3 John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mdt.net.au/~john Debian Linux admin & support:technical services
