I can say I've had it happen with the 2.2.x kernels that Debian potato uses for booting off CD. However, with my locally-built BenH kernels, I've done partitioning stuff and never had that happen. I don't know if I've just been lucky, or if Ben has a fix for it in his tree. Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School | #linuxOS on EFnet [EMAIL PROTECTED] | District (dsdk12.net) | #linuxOS on OPN
