Hi You say you are using Fedora Core 3 but when I installed it, it did not have SATA support out of the box. I installed Heidelberg on an IDE disk, compiled a kernel with SATA support enabled before it would reckognize my SATA. (with Intel controller btw) Asside from that, you could try to insert your first cd, boot from it, and start rescue mode. It will mount your root filesystem (if it can) and then you will be able to access the logfiles. HTH With kind regards Andy On Saturday 04 June 2005 15:17, Maarten W.
