Grub is a possibility. I did not consider so far that Grub might be the culpit. Does ubuntu use a special flavour / version of grub? I'll cross check that with the various distros I have meanwhile on my c&t69000er box, would be too good to have it all up. Might take some time, but I'll be back. greets chris greets chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
