Make sure GRUB reads the kernel and initrd (if you use one) from the CD-ROM. Another option is a USB stick. -- Dick Streefland //// Altium BV dick.streefland@xxxxxxxxx (@ @) http://www.altium.com --------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo--------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
