Alas, for some reason it didn't do. My FC8 has a boot partition. I tried both resume=/dev/hda5 and resume=/../dev/hda5 . FC8 complained that it couldn't find either one. noresume got rid of the complaint, but didn't solve the new mystery or cure the supposed bad magic number on sda1. Is there a way to ask FC8 What does it think the magic number should be? What magic number is it getting? >From where is it getting the magic number? Tempted as I am to just start over with the new partition, I don't have a clue what I should do different. The fact that Knoppix likes the new partition suggests that the problem is not the result of a glitch that will go away if I try again. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called Hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called Software." -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
