The first problem is that you haven't given any details. What partition layout do you have? Have you ever been able to boot from this machine? What's in /etc/fstab? If this is a fresh install, I'd suggest moving to 6.1, or waiting a couple of days for 6.2. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
