Ah, that's it. My fstab read as follows: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda3 /shome ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 auto ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hde1 /media/cflash0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 Very odd. I don't know when or how the /dev/hda3 line was created. Once removed, the system boots without the error. I'm a little embarrassed, frankly. I should have thought to check it before posting to the list. Many thanks for the responses. I understood the limit on the number of primary partitions, and the need therefore for logical partitions, but I didn't understand the place of extended partitions in the whole scheme. gsf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
