thanks Nick how can I fix the "fsck" error at boot?? ..or created a /boot - fake /boot that it will be happy with?? I'm not sure exactly but I assume that the error is either because /boot is ext2 and /hda8 ext3 or because gentoo mounts /hda8 first and then trys to run 'fsck' on /boot which of course (by then) is mounted on /hda8?? does it matter where on /hda I put a /boot partition. I have a bit of spare room after /hda9 - extended?? But I don't really want to put in at the start of hda8 (primary) as of the risk to other data and all the other partitions will get renamed etc. -- cheers................dave g Mail to: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _________________________________________________ Kmail 1.7.2 & Kontact - KDE Desktop 3.3.2 SimplyMEPIS 3.3.1 - Linux - Kernel 2.6.10 (i686) _________________________________________________
