Hi Rob, Hmmm, I'm glad you mentioned that. I plan on going to the 2.4 kernel immediately - so I better hold off on making the boot disk CMS RESERVED for the moment.

No problem. The biggest problem is whether you can boot from it. With SuSE 7.0 that appeared to work, but with the new disk format introduced with the Linux-2.4 kernel (as is in SuSE 7.2 and RedHat) you lose your data when you try to run zipl against a RESERVED disk that has an ext2 file system on it.
