Adding the slash to the drives name fixed it all up, except it decided to fsck the drive on that boot & its a big bugger, took about 40 minutes. Now, let me ask the other question I've muttered about. I'm currently running 2.6.24-rc5 here, home built of course. In the kernel config, I don't see an option I can set that will switch it from using the ide drivers to using the libata stuff. This of course will mean I have to label everything in the system with tune2fs and edit my fstab and grub.conf as I go, but it seems to me that would solve my cross mounting problems a lot cleaner than futzing with everything else. So how do I enable these new libata operations in a locally built kernel? That is tonight's question. Thanks Mikkel. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
