I didn't fill in for any extra's because I wasn't prepared with a list of url's and without a lot of prep, I doubt too many would be. Now, update in F8 install #2 now that I've had a cuppa or 2. As above I gave it network params all pointed at my dd-wrt box and it did quite a bit of traffic over it getting ready for the install, which at 1537 packages, was error free. However, on the reboot, the sata drive I had just installed it all on was invisible, so it rebooted back to FC6 on the ide drives. At this point I'm inclined to 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/bootf8' and see whats there, moving the kernel and initrd back to /dev/hda1 (/boot), and copy the new grub.conf's contents to another stanza in the one on /dev/hda1 and see if that will work. Mounted, and an ls shows: [root@coyote drivers]# ls /mnt/bootf8 config-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 grub initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img lost+found System.map-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 and a cat of /mnt/bootf8/grub/grub.conf: ------------- default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img title Other rootnoverify (hd1,1) chainloader +1 Is this a feasable plan of attack? What do I do with the 'root (hd0,0)' or does that count since this is grub, and the kernel & initrd have yet to be loaded, screwing with the device.map in /boot/grub? Or, do I edit my current /boot/grub/device.map to place hd0 as /dev/sda & hd1 as sdb as shown in the new device.map written during the install? Inquiring minds want to know. :) Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
