It will pick up whatever is on the disk; this may be random garbage or a valid partition table. This looks like a valid table. Use "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde bs=512 count=2" to wipe the existing table, then sync and reboot. You should see this effect disappear. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
