It you do NOT use LVM-based partitions, then /dev/sda and /dev/sdb will work. A segfault is most likely caused by flakey memory or specifying the "Use other repo" during the package selection phase of the install. Don't use it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - When all else fails, try reading the instructions. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
