Boot off the debian cd and try mounting your various partitions and check which one is root. For example do: mkdir /test mount /dev/hda1 /test cd /test ls if hda1 wasn't root then try the next one: cd / umount /test mount /dev/hda2 /test cd /test ls etc. Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.crasseux.com
