Is this correct? I don't think either of these is relevant; most people will have all Linux partitions ext3, and parted (print) normally says the partition table is msdos. I would try running grub interactively; type "c" when the grub prompt appears, and then "root = (hd0,0)" or "root = (hd1,0)", and see what grub reports. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
