You say it "just hangs" on reboot, but presumably there are your BIOS screens first and then hopefully grub, and then it hangs? Or just your BIOS screens and then it dies trying to start grub? Which HDD (10G, 2G) is it installed on and which is it trying to boot from? - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC+1thjKeDCxMJCTIRAvh4AJ9PyOpXqztbxAB/XBRGbH154+iQmgCeOSQl hpXG/gJ93/Oi8fMJAUsbeRg= =s1+G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
