All you have to do is edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the kernel line: hd?=ide-scsi only having scsi stuff, I would presume that hd? would refer to you're cdrom? just run: ls -al /dev/cdrom and replace the hd.. with the output ie: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi Hope that kinda helps Mark -- --- Universal Truths: "SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE" You'll need it to replace three people who just left.
