Well, I'm not using GRUB, but I think that the way GRUB reads disks has very little (if anything) common with linux. Not only it gives different names to disk-partitions, grub is like "mini-OS", which uses its own routines. It can be that GRUB sees disks/partitions differently, than linux... lilo has been designed as "LInux LOader". If lilo can see some disks/partitions, linux kernel can find them too (and vice-versa). But this is sometimes not true for GRUB... Jarry -- Analog-/ISDN-Nutzer sparen mit GMX SmartSurfer bis zu 70%!
