thanks martin, i have only the primary disk that i want to contain the system partition(s) on connected via the bottom port, which is where i have always had it connected.
during the stage to partition the disk, i initially specified separate partitions and let it calculate the partition sizes automatically, and it results in a 98M swap partition. is this too small? perhaps its running out of memory? is there a recommended size for this? i have seen an article on nslu2-linux about debian installer disconnecting due to swap space sizes. i have tried editing this partition to make it larger, but it says that i cannot make it larger (perhaps because all the other partitions are already defined so it thinks it has no space left?) the 2 other disks i have are connected via a usb hub into the 2nd port. these disks contain an lvm volume/partition that i am hoping to be able to restore (never tried before!) as it has my media stored on it! (it was the system partition that wouldnt boot so i believe these disks are intact) Regards, Dan Burt ----- Original Message ---- From: Martin Michlmayr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Dan Burt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Rod Whitby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [email protected] Sent: Friday, 17 August, 2007 7:55:15 AM Subject: Re: installation errors * Dan Burt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2007-08-16 21:28]: > However, after numerous re-installations, I still have the root > problem - the slug doesn't seem to pick up disks on boot.

Do you have one drive connected to your slug when this happens or more than one? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
