Do you have support for PC BIOS partition tables enabled in your kernel? (Under "File Systems" -> "Partition Types" -> "Advanced partition selection") If you don't have support for a PC-style partition table (which, if cfdisk shows a partition table, that's what is on there), then that would definitely explain it. -- Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School | #linuxOS on EFnet [EMAIL PROTECTED] | District (dsdk12.net) | #linuxOS on OPN
