Many thanks to all those who offered help on my IDE errors. It ended up being the IDE cable, as it wasn't the newer type. Now I get nice clean boots again. I might add this though. I installed, formatted etc, this drive in the RH8 install program. This using the old cable (UDMA 33 Style). When I put the new style cable in and booted, my initial problems disappeared but boot failed to swapon, as it could not find hda3. I used the second drive connector on the new cable and swapon was fine on all consecutive boots. Do the newer IDE cables have A and B ends like a floppy? Or is it just coincidence? dw -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
