Thanks, that solved the problem, given that I had identified it as arising from Ubuntu not recognising ReiserFS. I added the 'initrd=...' line & booted into Ubuntu successfully; Gentoo doesn't require that line, perhaps because I use no kernel modules. BTW the Ubuntu ramdisk needs 7,9 MB & Lilo issues a warning (I didn't use your 'append/vga' lines). >From my bit of experience so far, Ubuntu does look good for a beginner. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
