Nik, Thanks for your suggestion. I wish it was just a simple jumper mis-configuration. The new drive is on a separate IDE controller, all by itself, so there's no problem with the jumper settings. Everything works as expected when I boot using Windows. Any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: nicola [mailto:nicola]On Behalf Of Nik Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2003 3:42 PM To: Andrew Chen Cc: Stephen C.

The original drive should have the jumpers set to "Master", the RH7.2 one on "slave". _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
