Hello! IIRC, sometime ago (may be a long time) someone on this list reported similar problem. Try to search through the archives. If I'm right, it had something to do with incorrect grub configuration file, but I can be mistaken. "Incorrect" in this case means wrong syntax (unneccessary space or another symbol placed somewhere) - not wrong partition setup.
Anyway, take a look at your grub.conf and if it's allright, search the archives for your problem. HTH, Dmitry. On Sunday 22 June 2003 23:30, Zachary P.
