This is a test machine which is why it was multi boot. Everything worked well. There were issues in determining which drive was SDA and which was SDB and so on. This could create issues if you add an extra drive after the fact This was discussed at length in another thread. The outcome of that thread was to use labels on all the partitions and labels in the /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf files. The /boot/grub/device.map can be more problematic. Bob S. Phoenix, Az
