but honestly, what does your boot loader understanding a particular fs-type buy you? I use both grub and lilo (different systems). both are nice. I really dont care for one or the other. But I have to say that GRUB being able to 'understand' a given filesystem is a misfeature. It doesn't buy you anything. In fact, I've personally seen a machine that had a trashed fs on it that freaked grub out. lilo didn't have any issue getting the machine to boot far enough for a fsck. why? cause grub used the fs (which was toast) where lilo knew where on disk to start reading and executing code just my $.02 - -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: Linux StepByStep - http://www.linux-sxs.org and http://jobs.linux-sxs.org /* Thanks to Rob `CmdrTaco' Malda for not influencing this code in any * way. */ 2.4.3 linux/net/core/netfilter.c -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Ec4USrrWWknCnMIRAiCnAKCkMXMGHSQTdzzgYr1KCBzWH7LcaACdHdl8 hq+SQNh8FDm51bbSjYufGrg= =actY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
