Yee-hah! Finally, after about 6 weeks cursing and ripping out my few remaining hairs, I got gentoo to boot off the HD w/ NO errors! I'm soooo stoked! I'm using a 1.1Gig drive as /dev/hda for boot duty, which seems like a waste, but I'm sure I can find something to put on all that extra space.
Only problem: WinXP won't boot. The lines in grub.conf are: title Window NT / Windows 95 boot menu rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 I'm sure that's correct: /dev/hdb, first partition. It mounts OK and all the files are intact, so ... Anyways, thanks to all for your support and encouragement. -mw ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
