The machine has been faultless for years. I've developed tonnes of software on it and contributed to fedora-extras from it. Prior to this incident, it had never missed a beat (well, for the most part never missed a beat) in 4 years of active service. The MBR theory is down to getting the one GRUB line, no menu or anything else, but the LVM still be accessible. As the /boot directory is on /dev/hda1 and the LVM on /dev/hda2 (with the /home on a totally different hard drive), this is the only thing which it could really be. > I suggest you load it again from a DVD and try to do it right. And I suggest that you don't just jump to the conclusion you have! TTFN Paul -- Get your free @ukpost.com account now http://www.ukpost.com/
